It would certainly be easier for the average user (and somewhat

$TM_SELECTED_TEXT_START_LINE_NUMBER and
$TM_SELECTED_TEXT_START_COLUMN_NUMBER
variables, or, alternatively, slightly changed semantics of
$TM_LINE_NUMBER and $TM_COLUMN_NUMBER variables
so that they always return the starting position of selection
(no matter how the selection was made).

Do you know these variables?
$TM_INPUT_START_LINE
$TM_INPUT_START_LINE_INDEX

Oh, I did not know these existed. Thank you, Hans! These variables
are missing from the official Manual. I decided to check for other
variables, and found that TM_COLUMNS and TM_COLUMN_NUMBER
are missing as well. Should I submit a documentation patch?

Ho-ho-ho,
