Thanks, that's a good start. It works in some situations, but only  
for one step of Undo.

Consider the following case:

In the above sentence, select "good" as your region and enter "x".  
Then select "some" and press x again. Now do undo twice and press C-x  
C-x. I would expect "good" to be selected.

I was going to bind my undo key to something like (lambda nil  
(interactive) (undo) (exchange-point-and-mark)) but obviously undo  
would have to work in several steps without selecting wrong text.
