Exposing READLINE_MARK in addition to the existing READLINE_POSITION makes it possible for the user to implement improved clipboard integration.

E.g.

# Save between mark and point to clipboard
_xkill_ring_save() {
    if [[ -z "${READLINE_MARK}" ]]; then
        # fallback for bash without READLINE_MARK, select whole line
        CLIP="${READLINE_LINE}"
    elif [[ "${READLINE_MARK}" -gt "${READLINE_POINT}" ]]; then
        LEN=$((READLINE_MARK - READLINE_POINT))
        CLIP="${READLINE_LINE:$READLINE_POINT:$LEN}"
    else
        LEN=$((READLINE_POINT - READLINE_MARK))
        CLIP="${READLINE_LINE:$READLINE_MARK:$LEN}"
    fi
    echo -n "${CLIP}" | xclip
}
bind -m emacs -x '"\ew": _xkill_ring_save'


If you like the idea I can have a crack at updating the documentation also.
