While I didn't know about this, it sounds like this only applies in
Selection mode, not Visual mode. I seem to recall that the OP was
talking about Visual mode.

I don't feel a strong need for it to be added, and one could
theoretically just

:vnoremap <esc> <esc>gv

allowing you to use <esc> with one keypress (and if you wanted to
cancel Visual mode, you can still use control+C)
