I don't think it's really that useful for occur. Occur
is usually used to find matches in a larger text. If you
want to limit the search to a smaller region then you
can already use isearch which hihighlights the additional
matches or simply use narrowing.

If a configuration option like this is added then
its default value should be using the active region for
search because in my experience I use it very often and 
I only occasionally need to limit the search to a region
which I can already do with narrowing.
