[Qgis-developer] Identified features vs. Selected features : could we merge those ?

[A Huarte]

+1 with Andreas for the same reasons

Related to this dicussion: regarding the form of how the elements are painted on the map, I would like to discuss an idea. 

To avoid repainting the full content of the map when the selection changes (it can very heavy for big contents), I find it interesting to modify how the highlight of the elements is done by painting similar to how it does the identification tool (it uses QgsHighlight class). Basically, disconnec the rendered map to the selected elements to draw.

Best Regards
Alvaro
