This is almost what I intended. What I had in mind is this:
   * I make a rect mark (with set_mark_rect_cmd)
   * call copy_region
      - rectangle is copied
      - 'scrap.type' set to 'rectangle'
   * move somwhere else
   * call yank
      - rectangle is inserted

I solved this in my brief mode with variables Brief_Mark_Type and
Brief_Scrap_Type, but it does not allways work. It would work if
Brief_Scrap_Type were a scrap-local variable (is it possible?).

Brief suppots the following types
   - inclusive (cursor is part of region)
   - exclusive
   - column (rectangle)
   - line (whole lines from mark to point are highlited)
