according to delete-selection-mode's header file, elisp code that
insert text that wants to respect delete-selection-mode should set
the symbol's delete-selection property to true.
However, this works only when the command is called by a keyboard,
not by M-x.
This appears to be a bug?
Example for reproduction:
(defun insert-date () "Insert current date." (interactive)
(insert (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d"))
)
(put 'insert-date 'delete-selection t)
then call M-x insert-date, and it'll not replace text selection.
