To avoid possible confusion I want to reiterate that a new command
`yank-match' proposed by Karl is useful on its own, and would be more
useful with some improvements (to behave like `yank-pop', but using
a predicate to match patterns on the elements of the kill-ring to select
the next element).
OTOH, a simple command I presented is not a replacement for the command
`yank-match'.
