I'd go the other way, because: When a user has set the new option to a
value that reflects his feeling of what is natural, he probably will not
have problems with the standard highlighting.

AFAIU this would be easy - this is how `rectangle-mark-mode's
highlighting is implemented (rect.el):
(add-function :around redisplay-highlight-region-function
#'rectangle--highlight-for-redisplay)
(add-function :around redisplay-unhighlight-region-function
#'rectangle--unhighlight-for-redisplay)
(add-function :around region-extract-function
#'rectangle--extract-region)
(add-function :around region-insert-function
#'rectangle--insert-region)
I'm not sure if I would want this, though: marking is only thing that
uses the region. Copying text is another one, for example. Would the
changed region semantics have an impact on e.g. `kill-ring-save', etc.?
Michael.
