Subject: Replacing a selection with the register keeps its direction

R always left the head on the pasted text's last char. helix maps the
replaced range through the change, so a backward selection comes back
backward, its head on the first char: helix-golf's reverse_golf_example
(xbR) is where it showed. SPC R shares the path.
