I.e. one must modify the file one is working with, or one must specify a register. (Goal is to yank it back later, with least aggregate fuss.) Oh then first make the buffer read-only, then kill-rectangle, you would say. But like sorry. Works that way, masochist flash/beep and all, with C-k, but not C-x r r. You can yank all you want after that but there will be nothing coming.
