Please don't use this term this way. It would be very confusing for
XEmacs.
It's not clear to me why anybody cares about whether the region has
non-zero length or not, anyway. It seems to me that `region-exists-p'
and `region-active-p' as used in XEmacs would be sufficient.

I don't understand what Alan's problem with "active regions" is. As
I've pointed out in the past, although "receptive" might be a better
term, usages like "active receptor" (in biochemistry) are very common.
If Alan is essentially unique in this objection, and he seems to be
(sorry, Alan!) then I see no need to cater to him.
