Maybe an Emacs expert can help here: is there a simple way to mark a
region so that we can't erase its contents but we can erase the entire
region?  I mean: either we have the entire region or we don't have it
at all.

The intangible property looks interesting but it's not exactly the
same thing (and it doesn't seem enough).
