Well, I think it would be possible in Scheme, but tedious, whereas it
should be easy in C. The problem is that d-Cut while deleting the
selection trashes the clipboard. Internally this is done as d-Copy
followed by the delete you want.
So it should be trivial to make the delete you want available.

Have I understood you aright? What shall we call the command? Of should
it just be a parameter to the d-Delete command? (We need a complete set
of commands sketching out; but as we go on, we get a better idea what
they would be...)
