I think you're probably right here, but we have many 114 occurrences of
"shift-selection" in our tree.  I think it doesn't make sense to fix one
without fixing the others, and then you'd need to be careful because
some of them might refer to the symbol `shift-select'.

So ultimately, I'm not sure it's worth spending time on.  I guess we
could accept a patch.

Eli, what do you think?
