bidi text aside, I think that could be worth doing. Sam already has a
notion of iterating over discontiguous regions, so this is essentially
a proposal to make them first class, by making dot a list of regions.
For example, if you write an x expression, wouldn't it be nice for all
the matches to show up as hilighted text? Then you could interactively
give the next command to act on that set of regions.
It might involve lots of internal changes, of course, but just stepping
back for a minute and thinking about the interface, it seems interesting
enough.
