I'm afraid things are not that simple.  We have at least the secondary
selection and 'hl-line-mode' to take care of.  Moreover, there might
be users who do prefer the current way of extending (and not
extending) faces to window edges.  And I have no idea whether image or
rectangular regions require special treatment too.
