if I change those 'right and 'left, to :right and :left, the handling them over and over as symbols will not start confusing them as variables, and keep them as symbols.

this behaviour comes after somehow my `org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region' became nil.

if I set it back to t, I get the message "Symbol's value as variable is void: right".

I had enabled debugging, and my guess is that this might have left the value of `org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region' at the "inside-looping" setting.  just guessing.

when I select subsequent TODO items, whole lines, and I do M-<right>, they get demoted by one star, so something like

* header
<point>* a1
* a2
* a3
<mark>* header

after I hit M-<right> will become

* header
<point>** a1
** a2
** a3
<mark>* header

which is what I expected, even if I would not expect the region to be deactivated.

but if I now reactivate the region, andhit S-<right> (that's shift-right), the effect is only at the <point>, not on the selection:

* header
<point>** TODO a1
** a2
** a3
<mark>* header

I would have expected all lines to get the TODO.Same effect, if I hit C-c C-t: only the line at the point gets the TODO status rotated.

looks like a bug to me, but I would not know where to start looking for how to fix this.
