Perhaps reverting the rebinding of mouse-2, but then expanding 
mouse-yank-at-click to honour a boolean customization
mouse-yank-selection-only would be best?

This would certainly simplify instructing users on how to switch between 
the old and new behaviours (and I guess we can expect more tickets in 
the tracker in that area): it becomes possible to switch the behaviours 
solely by changing a small set of all-boolean customizations.

Thhis also means other bindings to mouse-yank-at-click (such as in the 
fringes, or done by 3rd party apps or end users) get the behaviour.

(*apart from the menu, though maybe users most likely to want the 
"classic" behaviour are least likely to be heavy menu users)
