It still leaves other wierd CUA stuff enabled, e.g., shift-key-selection
(maybe that's what Juanma wants but I don't).

Also, it's quite ugly to have to explicitly disable parts of CUA mode
and then turn on CUA mode to get nice rectangle support -- as far as I
can tell there's no _reason_ to intertwine the two except history.

It would be cleaner to have two separate modes, with CUA using rectangle
mode if appropriate (is it?  I almost never use a real CUA system, so I
don't know if they have such a thing...).  [and also for other cua
features that probably should as well; I don't remember which ones there
are, but we discussed this a while ago.]

Of course it would take some work to disentangle them, and I'm not
suggesting that you have to do it... but it would be nice if someone
did.  :-)
