Sure. I refer to "active region with transient transient-mark-mode" as
just "active region" for brevity. Basically, I'm saying that C-x SPC
should do the same thing C-SPC C-SPC does when the user has set
transient-mark-mode to nil in their config.
The point of this bug is that C-x SPC does not activate the region (or
does not transiently enable transient-mark-mode and then activate the
region, if you prefer).
