FWIW I think this would be useful.
This is what I had in mind when I proposed that C-SPC C-SPC could
temporarily negate `transient-mark-mode'[1].
And now I realize that, if C-SPC C-SPC temporarily negates the value of
`transient-mark-mode', then swapping the commands behind C-SPC and C-SPC
C-SPC [2] is strictly an equivalent of setting `transient-mark-mode' to
non-nil by default. Or am I missing something?
