;;; Commentary:
;;; This file makes the active region be pending delete, meaning that
;;; text inserted while the region is active will replace the region contents.
;;; This is a popular behavior of personal computers text editors.
;;; Code:
(defvar pending-delete-mode t
"*Non-nil means Pending Delete mode is enabled.
In Pending Delete mode, when a region is highlighted,
insertion commands first delete the region and then insert.")
(defun delete-active-region (&optional killp)

;; with pending delete because pending delete users use the selection more.
