I'd like to ascertain what could be done now. In addition
to register and rectangle commands, `C-x r' also includes
keybindings for the bookmark package. So a keymap name like
`register-rectangle-bookmark-and-anything-more-map' clearly
is not an option. So we need to separate "physical" maps
(bound to physical key sequences) and "logical" maps (like
narrow-map and abbrev-map where keys are grouped by functionality).
The package bookmark.el already defines a map `bookmark-map',
but it is not bound to any key by default. It also adds
three keys to the `C-x r' prefix as:
;;;###autoload (define-key ctl-x-map "rb" 'bookmark-jump)
;;;###autoload (define-key ctl-x-map "rm" 'bookmark-set)
;;;###autoload (define-key ctl-x-map "rl" 'bookmark-bmenu-list)
So it seems inevitable to create a new map `ctl-x-r-map' and bind
these key to it as:
;;;###autoload (define-key ctl-x-r-map "b" 'bookmark-jump)
;;;###autoload (define-key ctl-x-r-map "m" 'bookmark-set)
;;;###autoload (define-key ctl-x-r-map "l" 'bookmark-bmenu-list)
Alternatively, when multiple inheritance will be available, a keymap
with these three keys could be named as `bookmark-mixin-map' to be
merged with register and rectangle maps in ctl-x-r-map.
