This is not a minor issue.  It's a question of doing it properly so that
it will help Emacs be more useful, and more usable (for everybody, but
especially people learning Emacs).

Putting shift-selection in the "mouse region" ghetto does not help,
it just makes a currently problematic special case even _bigger_.
