I like the idea, but this collides with other uses of cursor-type.
Could someone cook up a patch which only does the above if cursor-type
has not been modified (and which lets users opt-out if they prefer).
Also, the patch should directly modify deactivate-mark and activate-mark
rather than using the hooks.
