A possible alternative would be to use a binding that's only active when
the region is highlighted.  So the way to use it would be C-SPC <rmmkey>
where rmmkey is the key bound to rectangle-mark-mode.

Not sure which key would be appropriate, but restricting this use to the
"active region case" opens up the possibility of choosing a key that's
in common use, tho not when the region is active.

A mnemonic key would be C-r, except that C-r already has a useful
meaning when the region is active.
