It seems the behavior of <M-S-left> and <M-S-right> has changed.
Previously, if I selected multiple subtrees and hit M-S-right, all the
subtrees in the region would be demoted (or promoted, if I hit left
instead). Now, the behavior is identical to <M-left/right>: only the
subtree at the point is moved.

Example:

* One
* Two
* Three
* Four

If I position the point at the beginning of the "Two" line, and then
hit C-space down down, the region encompasses both headings. I
expected <M-S-right> to change both into second level entries.
Instead, it demotes "Four" (which is not even in the region).

Intentional decision, or regression? I would argue the latter. The old
behavior was quite useful and I don't know how to get it back.

My current version is:

Org-mode version 7.9.2 (release_7.9.2-882-gf47a71.dirty @
/home/dlm/share/org-mode.git/lisp/)

The only local commit that makes it "dirty" is a change to a
docstring. No code changes. I haven't moved up to 7.9.3 because I just
read a bug report on the list about MobileOrg*, which is essential to
me, so I don't plan to move to that release until I see confirmation
that the fix actually works.

Thanks.
