The problem is that rubber banding doesn't work in all modes - it fails in
list view, for example.
I'm from RO originally also, and I don't think adding useful extra features is
a Bad Thing, unless they break the model Rox uses. I don't think this proposed
selection method does that - it's simply another method on top of what's
already there. In some circumstances, it is actually faster than any other
method (as I illustrated earlier). In others, it's definitely inferior. But it
does have its place.
