If region is active use it instead of the object at point.

This is an electric command (`ess--execute-electric-command'),
which means that you can use the last key to cycle through the
action set (in this case `C-e').

After invocation of this command all standard emacs commands,
except those containing 'window' in their names, remove the
electric *ess-describe* buffer. Use `other-window' to switch to
*ess-describe* window.

Customize `ess-describe-at-point-method' if you wan to display
the description in a tooltip.
