Attached is an updated patch.  I also added a keybinding, though I'm not entirely happy with it.  I chose / w since w is an upside down m.  My first choices of m, M, p, P, d, and D were all taken.  They were for mode, parent, and derived.  Feel free to ignore or change that portion.  Perhaps the key should replace one of the current mode filter keys m and M.

FWIW, I contacted assign <at> gnu.org for some changes in expand-region.el.
