Yes.  A key justification in my view is that these uses compound with
all commands (in Emacs or external) that substantially modify a buffer.

Thanks, sounds good (although happy if others want to try, too).  A
related idea is to make vc-diff restrict to hunks in the active region
(in the "without arg" case).  Does that sound to you like a good change?
