Here we go again...

Can you please start a different thread for that?

This thread is _not at all_ about whether delete-selection-mode or t-m-mode
should be enabled by default.

This thread is about some proposed commands that let you mark various things at
or near point. 

And which keys might be bound to those commands is a secondary consideration,
relevant only if the commands are accepted. There is nothing in the proposal
about using C-M-SPC or any other keys, in particular. It's about the commands.
If the commands are accepted, then we can argue endlessly about which keys, if
any, to bind to them.
