I have the same comments as before, FWIW.

  My latest question was why we would add all of that
  stuff - options for choosing modifiers etc.  _Users
  have control_ over key bindings now.  Just what's
  the point of adding this other stuff?

  And what exactly does that have to do with selecting
  a rectangular region with the mouse?  Why should that
  be mixed in with providing the possibility of using
  a mouse to select a rectangular region?

  And why provide any binding, by default, for doing
  that?  The feature hasn't even been introduced to
  users yet.  Why would we sacrifice a default binding
  for it at this time?
