;;; Commentary:

;; Much of this code was revamped by Hrvoje Niksic, July 1997, with
;; version number set to 2.x.

;; Pending-del is now a minor mode, with all the normal toggle
;; functions.  It should be somewhat faster, too.


;;; Code:

(defvar pending-delete-mode nil
  "Non-nil when Pending Delete mode is enabled.
In Pending Delete mode, typed text replaces the selected region.")

(defcustom pending-delete-modeline-string " PenDel"
  "*String to display in the modeline when Pending Delete mode is active."
  :type 'string)

    ;; Here we used to check whether the point lies between the
    ;; beginning and end of the extent.  I don't see how it is
    ;; necessary, as the C code makes sure that this is so; it only
    ;; slow things down.
    (if killp
	(kill-region (region-beginning) (region-end))
