Having an exhaustive documentation of each function is great. Inconsiderately
overloading basic user functions not that much.
BTW aren't your 2 quoted sentences above a bit contradictory to each other?
There is absolutely nothing special in the configuration I currently use. I
just had to disable transient-mode because highlighting almost the whole buffer
during isearch as well as extending (and highlighting) the region without
pressing SHIFT is not my cup of tea.
BTW I read this funny thing in the set-mark-command help:
> When Transient Mark Mode is off, immediately repeating this

That is actually the only recipe I found to avoid the fatal overwriting!
