Are you still working on this? Could you send the patch > you wrote? If Kim doesn't respond, as he didn't back then, I suggest you use your best judgment to retain whatever seems useful from this patch. Internal functions indeed don't need to be documented, but if the doc string makes a significant difference in how easy it is to understand what the function does, including a doc string can only help future maintenance. I know very little about cua-rectangle-mode, mainly around the tricks it plays with the display code (and the special support these tricks have in the display engine), so I cannot answer the questions that Boruch asked. Thanks.
