Yes.  And I'd be even much happier if it is in Elisp, via a hook that
can be used for other things as well (well, the x-set-selection wouldn't
be on the hook, so that the hook stays nil by default, but the redisplay
code could call a (before|after)-redisplay Elisp function which can do
that x-set-selection as well as run a hook).

Yes.

Exactly,
