As link below indicates, advanced rectangle stuff is still hidden inside cua-selection-mode

while non-related to cua. That's a pity, as not seen that way by many users.

Please move *everything* out of cua that is not strictly related to cua.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got little
response at the time.)

CUA has its own rectangle commands that work in a different way than the
non-CUA rectangle commands, and I don't think any whole-sale porting of
those over would be appropriate.  The non-CUA rectangle commands have
been extended somewhat since this issue was opened, though.

But I don't think there's going to be any progress in this bug report,
so I'm closing it.  Opening new bug reports with more concrete
suggestions for extending the non-CUA rectangle commands may be
appropriate, though.
