I noticed that in one half of situations I needed to start a new
region with M-C-SPC, in another half to extend the active region.
But while starting a new region is easy after C-g or C-SPC, extending
the existing region was not possible at all.  It is too inconvenient
to start from scratch when the last command was not M-C-SPC, and to
repeat a sequence of M-C-SPC to restore the previous region before
continuing to extend it further.
