Ironically, drag-select is the exact use case that prompted me to STOP 
using cantSelect.  I was working on a drawing pane and had an object 
covering the full space within the drawing region behind everything else 
I wanted to user to be able to interact with.  My turning on the 
cantSelect for that larger object it no longer responds to the pointer 
tool, which is expected of course but makes drag-select impossible is 
the drag begins within that object.
