Actually there would be no sane reason to want that but I do it too. Nail a 
track with many edits and gain envelopes down to the ground just to make 
sure. I record it to a new track which is paranoid and a waste of space but, 
hell, it feels good. Commitment :)

To answer your question: Currently there is no other way to "combine" a number 
of regions into one. What you ask for technically is a container with some 
gui means to keep the regions' resizable (Remember: A region is a resizable 
view of a soundfile. Split a region, delete the first half and pull the 
handle of the rest back to the left side: You get to see the whole thing 
again. Senor Nondestructivo in action). Would be neat but it ain't there.
