calc-grab-region should check if rectangle-mark-mode is
non-nil and if so it should behave as calc-grab-rectangle
otherwise it should work as it does.
This would allow a single keybinding of calc-grab-region to
serve both purposes for those users that use
rectangle-mark-mode.

I think that sounds reasonable, but I don't use calc much myself. I've
added Mattias to the CCs; perhaps he has an opinion here.

Only that he agrees with the previous speakers!
For that matter, in an ideal world the Emacs region/selection would be:
(1) independent of point and mark
(2) of arbitrary shape (linear, rectangular, possibly discontiguous)
(3) represented by an abstract object type in Lisp
and all operations on the region should be able to cope with any shape, with useful behaviour for special cases.

OK; I've now pushed this change to Emacs 28.

Indeed. It's a bit ad hoc currently.
