I have sent the following bug report to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org:
There is copy-rectangle-to-register but no mechanism to copy
rectangle to kill ring which can be pasted using
C-x r y (i.e. yank-rectangle)
However there is no kill-rectangle-save which is along the lines of
kill-ring-save except it applies to rectangle.
Proposed key binding:
C-x r M-w.
