Hello all,
I would like to propose binding M-y to a new command isearch-yank-pop as
in the attached patch. Please review it.
Thanks - Leo

Now that C-y is bound to isearch-yank-kill, it would indeed make sense
for M-y to match the behavior of M-y outside isearch.
But maybe for compatibility with old "finger memory", we should allow
a M-y that does not follow isearch-yank-kill isearch-yank-pop.
I.e. rather than signal a "previous isearch command was not a yank", we
should simply turn it into an isearch-yank-kill.
WDYT?
Stefan

Sounds good. Patch modified to this suggestion.
