I advised `yank' so that C-u 100 C-y yanks 100 times instead (which is
much more useful in my opinion):
(defadvice yank (around damd-yank first nil activate)
"If ARG is neither nil nor \\[universal-argument], yank ARG times.
Otherwise, use the original definition of `yank'."
(if (or (not arg)
(consp arg))
ad-do-it
(dotimes (i arg)
(yank))))
