 every buffer-modifying primitive sets @code{deactivate-mark}.  The
 consequence of this is that commands that modify the buffer normally
 make the mark inactive.

+Lisp programs can set @code{transient-mark-mode} to @code{only} to
+enable Transient Mark mode for the following command only.  During
+that following command, the value of transient-mark-mode is
