I'd rather not introduce another variable here. I don't object to
allowing mouse-save-then-kill obey mouse-drag-copy-region (the emphasis
being on the "mouse" rather than the "drag"), provided the doc of
mouse-drag-copy-region is updated accordingly.
Any user who insists on changing mouse-drag-copy-region back to t can
deal with the inconsistency.
