Re: Transient Mark Mode on by default

[Richard Stallman]

    It seems that Richard is in favour of a scheme which supports both ^ in
    the interactive spec and a command property (for external packages),
    but IMHO, this is overkill -- 

It is cleaner to have this in `interactive' than in a separate property.

    If we name the property something like shift-select, then the help
    system can easily tell people that "applying the Shift modifier to
    this command will start or extend the active region".  

It can do that based on the interactive spec, too.  That is a good idea.
