I see two sub-issues to this:
1- Breaking long-standing behavior. I'll let others figure out how to
minimize this (e.g. by testing for `transient-mark-mode` or something).
2- If we take a step back, I think we'll see there's a "better optimum"
in this area when `transient-mark-mode` is in use. E.g. we could
combine `downcase-word` and `downcase-region` into a single command
which will do either of the two depending on `use-region-p`.
