When using the command `string-rectangle', I think it makes sense
to ignore the last line if the cursor is at the beginning of an empty
line.
Opinions?

It seems this will introduce some unnecessary complexity. The current
behaviour is intuitive at least.

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.

I know what you're talking about, but changing it will make the
rectangle commands behave inconsistently, which is not much better,
I think.
