I don't find it intuitive.
I find Org's behavior for `C-c :' more intuitive
For example:
A-----------------------------+
| |
+-----------------------------+
B
Imagine the rectangle above is selected/highlighted.
In Org, C-c : will insert ":" in front of the highlighted rectangle,
considering that the line starting with B is not part of the rectangle.
In other Emacs mode, `C-x r t : RET' will insert ":" in front of the
highlighted rectangle *and* of the line where point B is.
I find this confusing.
