  > Roughly, duplicate-dwim is to duplicate-line as upcase-dwim is to upcase-word. Ie, the -dwim commands operate on the region if active.

I think there are already several commands that operate on the region
if it is active, otherwise on some other textual unit.  Would it be
bad for duplicate-line to do this?  Then we wouldn't need a separate
duplicate-dwim.
