Just as a matter of terminology, there is only one region, hence nothing
to select. You surely mean _mark_ the region. If you use "select" when
you really mean "mark", you're going to lose the ability to say "select a
buffer" (meaning C-x b) since this would be mixed up with "mark a buffer"
(meaning C-x h).
