There is a ghost caret though,  after I-search, Sift-movement commands select
the text. So C-space could just change the meaning of movement commands in the
same spirit.

I am extensively using text selection in my work. Currently I badly miss
such emacs commands like forward-paragraph, mark-paragraph, forward-sentence in
conjunction with marking.

I might be wrong but at this point I really do not see compelling reasons for
having two separate modes for navigation (i.e. caret/non-caret). It seems like
they can happily coexist together, bringing powerful emacs-like functionality.

Thanks, 
Vitaly.
