Re: transient-mark-mode and region highlighting

    Currently, transient-mark-mode serves two different purposes: To
    highlight a selected region and to introduce "region sensitivity" to
    some commands (e.g. replace-string or comment-dwim).  AFAIK there is no
    way to separate the two transient-mark-mode's functionalities.

These two features naturally go together.  The highlighted region
tells you that commands such as replace-string will operate on the
region.  So I don't expect many users to want to enable the second and
not the first.

Do you see a reason to think many users want this?
