Then what about adding a new arg REGION to =E2=80=98shell-command-on-regi= on=E2=80=99 and other region-sensitive commands that will provide the region configuration including information about region type and region shape, e.g. a list in the form =E2=80=98(rectangle =E2=80=A6)=E2=80=99. Then th= e command's body will check the car of the arg REGION and act accordingly depending on the region shape.
