   Yank does discard most text properties.  It discards `invisible'
   properties, for instance.  It does not discard `display' properties,
   and probably it should not discard them, so that you can kill and yank
   an image.

People who agree with Eli can set `yank-excluded-properties' to t, but
the current documentation string makes this insufficiently clear.  I
propose to change the documentation string of yank-excluded properties
from:

  "*Text properties to discard when yanking."

To:

  "*Text properties to discard when yanking.
The value should be a list of text properties to discard or t,
which means to discard all text properties."

Now that I have write access, I could commit that change, if you agree
with it.

Sincerely,

Luc.
