[ESS] ess-eval-region Does Not Echo Highlighted Code Into the R Buffer?

[Martin Maechler]

I've also had 'nowait  as my personal default for many years.    I
find it also more appropriate when showing ESS to others, e.g. when
teaching etc.

Very importantly in practice:  Keep in mind that  prefixing i.e.   C-u
<...>  switches to visible (momentarily)  which is also handy when
demo-ing, teaching, ...
