On the other hand, C-x C-x C-x C-x is > often used for checking "did I leave the mark just where intended?". Yes, I mentioned all of that. But C-x C-x C-x could activate the region and swap positions, and C-x C-x C-x C-x could do so without swapping positions. Not ideal, but a possibility. (But it would be better to find a simple key that is not used or whose current use could be sacrificed.)
