;; DWIM code helpers and examples.

;; Advantages to this style:
;;
;; - the same default interactively and from Lisp
;; - the default is the whole buffer
;; - the region is never used from Lisp
;; - the variables are always set, to the default if not explicitely
;; - one can still have preceding, non-optional arguments
