The current search C-y feature needs to be easy to type in order to be
any use.  I think C-M-y would be too inconvenient, so it would almost
have the effect of eliminating this feature.

I don't use the C-y feature myself.  I don't know how many users find
it useful, and it might be worth polling the users to find out.
