Given that we rebind C-y to yank text in isearch (`isearch-yank-kill'), can you find a good keybinding for `isearch-yank-line' that is currently on `C-y'? (It would be good to reserve `M-y' for a new command `isearch-yank-pop' by analogy with `M-y' `yank-pop'). What about C-M-y? It would be nice if C-u C-y and C-u N C-y behaved the same as yank
