I find that binding loop/ring select to double click select works real
well, and doesn't take up a modifier. Similarly, when in face mode, it
selects continuous regions. This mirrors the actions in other programs such
as word processors where double clicks select words or lines.

Should we go the same route as box select

My opinion is that modal is evil and should be avoided at all cost. It's a
significant usability problem and a stumbling block for new users.

What tools in particular are you trying to do?
