The problem is that, when you have multiple displays, it's likely to
be unclear as to which one determines the region used by non-display
commands.

Also, requiring the region to match one of the displays is problematic
if you are working at a relatively high resolution. You don't want to
have to force the displays to operate at that resolution simply
because you cannot make a command use a resolution which doesn't match
a display.
