How about this:

(with-temp-buffer
  (yank ARG)
  (buffer-string))

I guess this is OK, right?

Or, A better idea would be:

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert-for-yank (current-kill (cond
                                  ((listp ARG) 0)
                                  ((eq ARG '-) -2)
                                  (t (1- ARG)))))
  (buffer-string))

Right?

But how can I copy 'yank-transform-functions' hook to the temporary
buffer?
