I find pc-selection-mode does exactly what I want. It only activates
the mark when the mouse or Shift-movement keys are used, and leaves it
alone when C-@/C-space are used. I can't immediately see how it does
this, since it enables transient-mark-mode as part of its
initialization, but doesn't use advice, hooks or rebindings of C-@ as
far as I can see. It does rebind other keys though (C-x C-x is rebound
to exchange-point-and-mark-nomark for example).
