Obviously. Who wants a Lisp virtual machine nowadays.

No, I am actually talking about expectations from using emacs where regions are 
highlighted, like what isearch seems like doing. What I am seeing is what looks 
like a region (and except for the active match, all the others are highlighted 
exactly as a region would be), but it doesn't act like a region. So there is a 
UI promise that's broken.
