Should smart send apply to manual selections?

Testing #22536

If I manually select some code, it looks like smart send doesn't kick in. Is this expected?

My use case is that sometimes I want to run multiple lines of code. Right now I have to make the exact right selection or it doesn't work. I'd prefer just being able to select anywhere on the lines I want to run and hit shift+end

Example where I want it to work:

Hi Matt, thanks for the feedback. There has been a very long discussion and talk over this, but basically decided to not run smart send feature as user is being very explicit if they are willing to hand highlight the code they want to run. It was getting close to stepping out of bounds of what people want to do with their own code. Also for those who did not appreciate smart send in few scenarios, they have option to not use it by explicitly highlighting like this. It is designed over lots of arguments, thoughts, discussions.

Maybe you can rename the setting to allow enabling this as a future option. I'd expect this feature to work more like vscode's expand selection

I'll look into what expand selection is and bring it up to the team! Thanks.
