I think at least it should be built on top of ewoc. It seems like a
natural choice.
I have been using b-k-r for around 2 years, at least keeping it around.
But unfortunately when I need it, it refuses to insert the text from
time to time, which is really annoying. So I wrote something really
simple for myself and I tried to make it work with the existing kill
yank facility in Emacs. I think new features can be easily added.
I posted the code here: http://paste.lisp.org/display/96565
