This is much harder to extract.  Even if most people are willing to
use and know rectangle commands, newcomers don't.

I once pointed this out on emacs-help, and one person responded by
writing a command that extracts the source.  So a newcomer would have
to know to look for that command, get it, extract it, evaluate it,
then extract the source he originally wanted to extract.  I think that
person didn't quite get the point.  :)
