Thanks for all those who contributed to the recent discussion on the
list.  I've discussed this some more with Stefan, and the result is
that Transient Mark Mode is now turned on by default, in the trunk.

I have updated etc/NEWS accordingly.  The documentation now needs to
be updated accordingly.  I am already partway through updating the
Emacs manual, and will check in these changes over the next few days.
When I'm done, I'll inform the list and welcome additional
corrections.

Would anyone like to check the tutorial and the Lisp manual?

        So all-in-all I really don't see why everybody is making a lot
         of fuzz over making shift-select a 1st class emacs feature
         ...

Except that is not what the arguments concerning Transient Mark mode
are about.  The question is whether to activate a region.  The
question comes up because the current action makes visible a mode of
navigation that some people do not use.

The arguments are not whether to have or what user interface to have
to combine two commands.  For example, an argument could regard a user
interface, whether to use a shift key in a graphic environment when
you move point and so at the same time select the region moved over.
Instead of that argument or whether to have the commands combined, the
arguments are different.

One argument is whether to use an `interactive' function for that
interface or to use something else, such as properties.

A second argument is whether to continue to use the old meaning of
mark.  (The first argument looks forward twenty years and more; the
second looks back twenty years and more.)

A third argument is whether to activate a region with the same
highlighting and under the same conditions that others use for
navigation and/or discover with `exchange-point-and-mark' with the
user interface `C-x C-x'.  (That argument looks both forward and
back.)
