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.
