;;; 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.
;; Interface:
;; Commands which will delete the selection need a 'delete-selection
;; property on their symbols; commands which insert text but don't
;; have this property won't delete the selection. It can be one of
;; the values:
;; 'yank
;; For commands which do a yank; ensures the region about to be
;; deleted isn't yanked.
;; 'supersede
;; Delete the active region and ignore the current command,
;; i.e. the command will just delete the region.
;; 'kill
;; `kill-region' is used on the selection, rather than
;; `delete-region'. (Text selected with the mouse will typically
;; be yankable anyhow.)
;; t
;; The normal case: delete the active region prior to executing
;; the command which will insert replacement text.
;; <function>
;; For commands which need to dynamically determine this behaviour.
;; The function should return one of the above values or nil.

enabled and typed text replaces the selection if the selection is
active. Otherwise, typed text is just inserted at point regardless of
any selection."
