Not this "opponent". I agree with self-inserting characters replacing the active
region _always_, no matter how it was activated. That's the point of "active".
And I hold that the region should be activated simply by setting the mark or
exchanging the mark and point.
IOW, I disagree (strongly) with changing the behavior of d-s-mode. If you don't
want to make d-s-mode the default, so be it. But please don't mess with
d-s-mode.
