Possible in principle, but a bunch of code currently works on the assumption 
that there can only be one contiguous selection (copying, pasting while a 
selection is active, deleting while a selection is active). Each of these will 
have to be adjusted, carefully. There are also some tricky questions attached, 
such as how should "Paste inside selection" work in this case: Should 
selection gaps be skipped in the data to paste, or should the data to paste be 
shifted?

Not something I'd like to start on, now. Could you put in on the RFE tracker?

Regards
Thomas
