Thanks for the comments.  Yes, cua-rect facilities are notoriously
under-documented.  I would suggest that you (or someone else who uses
cua-rect) propose specific patches to fix that, based on your
experimenting with the facility and code reading.  IME, this will
allow us to fill this gap much faster than any other alternative.

Of course, Kim's contributions to this effort will also be very
welcome.
