Yes, maybe I went to far but I felt I have to clear up some
misunderstandings in what you wrote. User will have to deal with it.

But this information was mainly meant for you. You can detect this bad
situation and tell the user how to overcome it. If you are want to
grab a key that is used by a major component in Emacs that many users
are using I think that helps quite a bit.

Yes, but you did not get it right. Your description that cua-mode "is
just one mode among a
multitude of possible modes" is highly misleading. It is an emulation
mode and that is very important.

However the rectangle thing is not part of the emulation of CUA and
should IMO not be in that keymap. It should rather be a separate,
normal minor mode.
