Whatever you decide, I suggest that (other things being
equal), the same behavior be added to `rectangle-mark-mode'.
(It seems to me that mouse-1 could do something useful
here. Maybe that would be a simple as exiting (as in
`rectangle-mark-mode' or as simple as restarting a
rectangle. Or maybe it could be something more helpful
or more interesting (I don't have any suggestion, off
the top of my head.).
