Yes, that would be good. I think the best way to go about doing it is
to move the highlighting of the region to Elisp code.
One element to doing it would be to add a pre-redisplay-hook of some
sort which could update a "region overlay" (move its beg and end to
region-beginning and region-end), at which point it should be reasonably
easy to make the region appear any other way (e.g. as a rectangle or
a combination of the two as you suggest).
