Why is the prefix important?
Does it matter whether the function bound to S-RET is named
cua-set-rectangle-mark or set-rectangle-mark?
Yes! Because I am not likely to pay any attention to
cua-set-rectangle-mark but might be curious about
set-rectangle-mark. This is because I have no interest in cua
bindings. I am sure others a similar. Someone writing in CC mode,
for example, will not look there for Gnus related commands.

Well, that is how it evolved ...
I understand that. It makes sense. But now that I have learned about
this neat feature, I would like to try it. However, I should not have
to worry that if it is part of the cua package it might change
keybindings on me; and I should not have to depend on reading this
list to discover a new, neat feature!
A next step would be to make the rectangle and global mark features
completely self-contained, and then interface CUA to them.
Right!
> But if my understanding is correct, you have written a really nice feature!
Try it out for yourself:
Options->CUA-style cut and paste
S-RET
Please understand, since I do not trust CUA packages, I am going to
start a new instance of Emacs and experiment in that. [time passes]
.... And I am glad I started a new instance, since the menu item says
it changed my keybindings on me. (Which is fine if I want to change
my keybinding, but I don't.)
