That looks OK, thanks.

I'm tempted to say that "r" should do (funcall region-extract-function
'positions), and fallback to passing the result as 2 separate positions
if the result is a singleton list.  Also, if we change "r" then I think
it might make sense to pass a special value in the second arg to be more
explicit then just nil (e.g. pass :split-region).
