If you plan to use this API generally in Emacs, then I guess XEmacs
compatibility is a secondary consideration. If so I would prefer that
you use a different name and the semantics for the argument that
Stefan proposed
I'm not wedded to any particular name.
Possible names are `region-usable-p' and `region-nonempty-p'.
Neither one fits quite right. Whether the region is active is more
central to the meaning than whether it is nonempty.
Perhaps `region-overrides-p' is a good name. The decision is whether
the region should override the normal meaning of the command.
I invite other suggestions.
