I renamed it to "yank-handler" (see NEWS), but here is a replacement
to kill-rectangle which allows you to insert the rectangle using C-y
(from the kill-ring), and even use M-y to cycle the kill-ring with
rectangles on the ring:
(defun kill-rectangle (start end &optional fill)
(interactive "*r\nP")
(when buffer-read-only
(setq killed-rectangle (extract-rectangle start end))
(barf-if-buffer-read-only))
(setq killed-rectangle (delete-extract-rectangle start end fill))
(kill-new "=" nil
(list 'insert-rectangle killed-rectangle t
(lambda (s e)
(delete-rectangle s e)
(goto-char s)))))
It is not perfect though. If inserting the rectangle changes tabs to
spaces, M-y may not completely restore the buffer to the state before
the rectangle was inserted, before inserting the next element from the
kill-ring. But it's close, so I hope you can see the potential in the
new functionality.
Now, this should allow a new intelligent i-kill-word function to
install a yank-handler which will correctly insert the killed words
with appropriate spaces according to context [i.e. don't insert a
space before punctuation or at beginning/end of line].
