No idea what this is all about, but if this is for
`electric-pair-mode' and not for `delete-selection-mode' then
the name should reflect that - call it `electric-pair-SOMETHING'.

Is this something that `delete-selection-mode' needs?  Or is it
for something else?

What does it mean for a command to "use the region"?

What does it mean for such a command (or any other command) to
"use the region"?  That info should presumably be in the doc string.
