This is slightly related to discontinuous selections, my view here  
is, that sure it would be cool, but it would be used by very very few  
users, it has no good use for keyboard users (which I myself is) and  
it would make the source code much more complex, and basically every  
single thing that deals with the caret or selection, would have to  
deal with considerations arising from this new ability -- so it would  
not just be one addition, it would hunt me for the rest of eternity.

IOW this is not happening anytime soon -- only if I find some very  
clever abstraction, would I consider adding it.
