select-active-regions is an insufficient requirement.
there also needs to be a var to prevent it w/o affectig anything else.
it is a cool idea, and it will be great for those who want it.
but i'm not alone in hating when applications running in terminals screw
over the way primary/secondary/clipboard normally work in said terminals.
so kudos, but a var to enable it at all, independent of any need for
select-active-regions to be t, is required. whether it defaults to t
or to nil is ok either way. but it is needed.
