Is it possible to save a text register and use it in the exact same way
at a later time ?
For instance, I define very simple useful things that I recall by doing:
C-x r i i ;; inserts : #include <>
C-x r i u ;; inserts : using std::;
C-x r i n ;; inserts : << '\n';
I would like to have these always ready when editing C++ code. They
could be globally defined, or bound to the editing of C++ files, I
wouldn't mind.
Thanks.

You can use `set-register' to set your registers programatically in your
.emacs file:
(set-register ?i "#include <>")
IMO abbrevs are a better choice for what you want. See `Abbrevs' in the
Emacs manual.
Depending on your specific needs and preferences, the Yasnippet package
can be even better.
