    I am a firm believer in having every keystroke do something the
user can see or hear.  One of my continual surprises is the
copy-region-as-kill (usually bound to M-w), which appears to do
nothing even as it copies huge regions.  I would suggest that just as
set-mark-command says "Mark set", the copy-region-as-kill should say
something like "Region copied" (I actually prefer "Region
sequestered", but that may be a bit too much).  I know I could add
this to my own copy of emacs, but I'd like to suggest it as standard
for emacs.  If there is an official reason why it should not be done,
I'd be curious to know what it is.
