"Consistency" is not quite correct. I used M-y for this because (1)
the operation is comparable to yanking and (2) the usual binding of
M-y was never useful after C-s.
In recent years, we have given several control characters a
special meaning after C-s. Most of those special meanings are not
useful for me, but there were some that I used to type often
to exit the search. Now that no longer works.
