I asked on stack exchange for how to change the behaviour and someone
suggested it was a bug.  I figured delete-selection-mode was less of a
mouthful than maybe-delete-or-kill-selection-mode ;)

The critical code lines were was also ambiguous and beyond my powers of
comprehension:

(put 'self-insert-command 'delete-selection
     (lambda ()
       (not (run-hook-with-args-until-success
             'self-insert-uses-region-functions))))

Thanks for confirming the default behaviour.  On changing to kill rather
than delete with:

(put 'self-insert-command 'delete-selection 'kill)

I get no self-inserted key, and an extra blank item in the kill ring.

Regardless, why don't we call this a hack and not a bug.

Tony
