It apparently is in a state of complete messiness which indeed
introduces some sort of "shiftiness active".
Try S-Right S-Right C-x C-x Left. The region is not extended.
I don't remember _any_ discussion about this somewhat volatile
_additional_ region active state (of which there are already too many).
Or try something like C-SPC Right Right C-x C-x S-Left and look and
behold, the existing active region gets removed and a new is started.
What is the design for that, if any? Can somebody express the current
default semantics in a few simple sentences?
