>> `mark-inactive' signaled in the function `mark'
>> has the message only about the mark:
>
>>   "The mark is not active now"
>
>> whereas the user-error message in `kill-region'
>> is specific about the region:
>
>>   "The mark is not set now, so there is no region"
>
> I'm not sure how important is this difference (or even if it's intentional).

I noticed another occurrence in ‘shell-command-on-region’, so maybe better
to leave the mention of the region in all region-related commands.
