Technically that's not necessary. Isearch always pushes the mark for you
anyway, even though it doesn't activate the region. But most people don't
know that, and even though I know it I frequently forget and activate
region before isearch.

Anyway, I don't see why it would be a problem. Just add an item to do a
regular search if the region is empty.
