Hi,

About extrude:

Since Theeth is working on new transform() code, I thought to limit my  
work there on a simple single direction extrusion now. This works for  
most selections fine, but not for opposing ones as in your example.  
That's something I think we can live with temporally.
For later we can research more options of course.

FGons:

Interesting option idea; but rather not fully automatic, but as a tool.  
Meaning you give a command 'calc fgons automatic' one. While editing,  
moving vertices un-coplaner shouldn't destruct the fgon.
BTW: the current 'FKey' command in editmode can just do that by default.

On-mouse hilites:

That option usually is just added to hide failures in proper (coding  
of) selection. Aim is to have each mouseclick being a hit, exactly what  
you intended to select.

Also, I've used such hilite-selection editors, and they're neurotic.
