1. Once again: the thread is about such commands in
   general - commands that affect the region whether
   or not it is active.

2. Proposing other commands and bindings doesn't
   take care of the problem.  Unless you are also
   proposing swapping alternative commands for each
   such problematic command, and giving them the
   key bindings of the old commands.  (And again,
   not just letter-case commands.)
