This has nothing to do with CUA as such - it's about finding a sensible
and convenient binding for setting the rectangle mark.
Since C-SPC sets the region mark, and the SPC key is "one dimensional",
I think that C-RET is a good analogy with the RET key's typical "two
dimensional" form.
And when I chose C-RET, it wasn't used by any other installed
package (not as far as I could see).
If we could move "just-one-space" to some other key, using M-SPC to
set the rectangle mark would be an alternative "logical" binding for
setting the rectangle-mark.
A third possibility would be S-SPC, but that may not work in -nw.

I guess that no matter what global key is chosen for "set-rectanle-mark",
it will conflict with some other mode...

Sorry, but if I can decide, I'll not change it :-)
