This sounds pretty much like what I need. Currently I'm slightly
extending Teemu's function in such a way that I can also deselect
parts of a selection. My ultimate plan is to add a toggle function,
which would allow to select and deselect arbitrary portions of text
with one function. If that turns out to be interesting for more of you
I will post the code.
