Hm...  Is there any way forward here?  Could we institute some special
form to be used in interactive specs that will be recorded in
command-history in a useful manner?  That is, code that today is:

	   (if (use-region-p) (region-beginning))
	   (if (use-region-p) (region-end))

could be something like

          (interactive-region-beginning)
          (interactive-region-end)

and whatever updates command-history would reify those as is instead of
their return values?
