The current selection extension does not seem to do this (maybe I
missed it?)  What I mean is that as I am extending the selection (by
continuing to left click) I want one of the choices to be to start with
the current selection and continue to the end of the line but not
include anything on the line before the start of the current
selection.  Does that make sense?  I'm simplifying it a bit of course,
but by default it goes from selecting one word then the whole line when
I'd like it to go one word, that word to EOL, then the full line.  That
is what my modification does.

Which is one of the reasons I really like urxvt!
