I don't agree. There are many other commands which are specific for the region, rectangle, and global mark cases, and handling those in separate functions is a lot clearer (to me). You said that the function of these maps is to remap `kill-ring-save'. I based my comment on what you said. Rather than remap `kill-ring-save', which is the usual key binding of M-w, I think it would be cleaner to bind M-w to one new command. What do these "many other commands" have to do with remapping `kill-ring-save'? I don't see the connection. Do these three maps do something else besides remap `kill-ring-save'? If so, would you please say precisely what other jobs they do?
