Could we add it to elpa.git?

The code I quoted said:

        (when region-noncontiguous
          (rectangle-mark-mode)))

I don't know why he needs to enable rectangle-mark-mode here, but if
it's needed in the case of rectangular regions (apparently his code
assumes that "noncontiguous" is synonym with "rectangular") maybe some
other mode might be needed for other noncontinuous regions, in which
case, the region should maybe carry with itself its associated mode.

But to know what to do, we first need to know more about why he has code
like the above.
