Spaeking of AutoCad, there's another behavior of AutoCad I think we should
consider borrowing.
In AutoCad, a Boxselect doen from Left to Right selecta all objects
intersected by the box. A box select from Right to Left selects only items
completely enclosed in the box. (Might be Up-Down, Down-up, but you get the
idea.)
The behavior could be communicated with a hearderprint(). A message like:
Border Select: LMB Draw Selection Box. Left to Right ->Selects any enclosed,
Right to Left ->Selects completly enclosed.
Maybe when Icon support is better we can modify the icon to indicate as well.
(Add a circle intersected by a box, or a circle enclosed in a box, added to
the appropriate corner of the cross icon.)
Does this sound like an interesting enough feature for me to code up for
Tuhopuu? (Though the headerprint isn't there.)
