I'm using CUA rectangle mode a lot, mainly for fixing indentation and to
insert sequence of numbers for converting texts into numbered lists in
orgmode. The default initial number is 0 and you can input 1.
But then you do it a bunch of times and wonder why is it not
customizable. For example there is a format variable for the sequence
"%d" and it has a history mechanism so if you change it, it's ready for
the next time in a given session.
I thought it's too complicated to have a history for the initial value
and just customizing it would be simpler. That's the purpose of the
patch.
