Re: delete-selection-mode

    I think it is a very good suggestion to be able to have one color for
    regions that act in way compatible with almost every editing
    environment and one that acts in the way special to Emacs.

I have nothing against this feature, but I point out that choosing
another color, and making it properly distinctive in two different
color environments (dark background and light background), is not
going to be easy.
