<p>If all you're interested about is whether the selection consists solely of whole line, maybe you'd be interested to see that the statusbar indicator for the selection indicates something different when only whole lines are selected: it displays the number of selected lines, with a <code>L</code> suffix (i.e. <code>5L</code>), instead of the number of selected bytes.</p>
