Or if the latter, how about:
(defun copy-rectangle-as-kill-region (beg end)
"Copy rectangular region into the kill ring, but don't delete it.
The text can then be yanked via \\[yank]."
;; Based on copy-region-as-kill, but with no filtering:
(interactive "r")
(let ((text (mapconcat 'identity (extract-rectangle beg end) "\n")))
(if (eq last-command 'kill-region)
(kill-append text (< end beg))
(kill-new text)))
(if transient-mark-mode
(setq deactivate-mark t))
nil)
