Hi,

  Currently, zap-to-char deletes every character up to
  a given character and including the said character.
  Does this behaviour satisfy most people?

  I personaly have rarely seen the need for removing
  this last character: usually, I want to remove
  characters up to a closing parenthesis or a semicolon
  for instance.

  Cheers,

Sure, that's what I have to do currently.

Anyway, would it be of any annoyance to add a
'zap-up-to-char' function which does the same as zap-to-char
except from removing the character? (I'm currently
not fluent at Elisp).

Thanks.

Why would we want to put the unwanted character in
the kill ring?
