Re: Saving the selection before killing

[Richard Stallman]

      What you have to
    keep in mind is that it inserts the text as the "last but one" element, so
    just C-y is not affected, it's only the subsequent M-y which is changed.
    So the only case which may cause problem is when the user wanted to do C-y
    followed by N times M-y where she'd then need to use M-y N+1 times.

Yes -- but that could still potentially annoy.

I think it would be useful for people to try this out and report on
how often it is useful, and whether it surprises them.
