I'm guessing that hard to do without intercepting every keystroke. For the reason you stated, once you start typing, the region will be deactivated. I'd say it's possible with emacs, but we'd have to implement a previous-region variable, and if a user types a non-command key then if there is a region, it stores it in the previous-region variable. And once a completion fails (a user types in a non-keyword), we'd have to clear that previous region function. So, possible, but difficult. Unless a facility for storing previous regions exists already, but I was unable to find it.
