That's a nice feature indeed but there's no reason we can't do it with
ranges if we like.
Except that with ranges you'll need to put some intelligence in the code
to decide where something start and where it ends. With insets the logic
is enforced by the structure and that is probably the top reason why we,
the inset guys, prefer the inset solution. And I thought you wanted
backspace to behave like backspace ;-P
