   But perhaps there is more to regions?

Perhaps.  Emacs is very dynamic and although recently it
has taken a large step away from that nature (lexbind),
i suspect there remains a good bit of irreducible magic.

This is not a very precise answer, but that's all i can say.

   What's that? :)

(info "(emacs) Minibuffer History")
(info "(emacs) Repetition")

   DWIM, is that what I'm doing?

When you apply heuristics to input, you are doing DWIM hacking.
Initially, you think "this is algorithm, no mere heuristic", but
then a bit later, "The code got somewhat complicated..."  :-D

   Why did you say that?

It tickles me to imagine Emacs having fun (sometimes).  A very
patient friend, slinging bytes across the gap, i appreciate it.
