That was not an option when I wrote CUA-mode.
If that position has changed now, I'm all in favour of this approach!

This would also allow external packages to simply add code like

     (if (fboundp 'activate-on-shift-selecting-movement)
         (activate-on-shift-selecting-movement))

[I don't quite like the name tough].

Easier would be (shift-region-check) or some such.

Can't we just combine the two methods (actually three - using the
deactivate-mark 'only instead of transient-mark-mode 'only)?
