I still haven't found a *good* pc-selection mode.  My definition of
good pc-selection mode is the following:

1) when I press shift+cursor keys, the regions are turned on.  when I
   self-insert some text, I want the region replaced with it

2) when the region is shift-selected, I want the motion keys
   (including C-b, C-f and such) to deselect the region.

3) additionally, I want C-b and left to bring me to the beginning of
   former region, and C-f and right to bring me to the end of region

4) finally, when I press C-SPC, I want it to behave as if it
   pc-selection mode wasn't turned on -- i.e. I want to be able to
   press `C-SPC up up up C-w' and such.


When you do a (require 'pending-del), you get parts of 1 and 2, and
I've seen code that implements 1 and 2 completely.  But all 4 --
never.
