I propose adding the simple package speedrect <https://github.com/jdtsmith/speedrect> to ELPA. Speedrect is a modal interface that comes alive when rectangle-mark-mode is active. It provides easy access to enhanced rectangle functionality. Beyond all the normal (and a few hidden) rectangle functions, some additional speedrect capabilities of note include:
- auto-restarting (so you can easily chain multiple rectangle actions)
- autosave and restore of the last rectangle
- rectangular text wrapping
- robust integration with calc
- quick placement of multiple-cursors

It looks good, I just have a few comments and suggestions you might be
interested in considering:

Thanks for the valuable feedback, implemented. Your elisp quick-scan abilities must be incredibly well honed by now!
Everything stands ready on this end.
