C-y only yanks the top of the kill stack, nothing else. A prefix
argument will just get used as a multiplicator, like with
self-insert-command.
I don't want to make an incompatible change like this without taking a
poll.
For the poll, I agree with such a change. I also agree that M-y should start
with the 2nd, not the top, kill-ring item.
For the discussion, someone else I think suggested on help-gnu-emacs that a
positive prefix arg to C-y could multiply pastes (like the above proposal)
and a negative prefix arg could continue to pull items from deeper in the
kill-ring. I prefer the simple proposal made above.
I would be curious to know, however, if there was a particular reason for
the current treatment of the C-y prefix arg - what was the rationale? Was it
perhaps done before M-y did what it does?
