I like the behavior of select-active-regions when it is set to t.
However, I do not consider the selected word when one does 'cw' an
active region (in the usual emacs sense). It is a vi construct
independent of emacs active regions and so it need not honor the
select-active-regions setting.

I am curious what other long-time viper mode users think about this
change in behavior (note that I no idea if any of the responders to
this bug report are viper users or not).
