This has been bugging me, and has been discussed before, e.g. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-11/msg00485.html Back in that 2008 thread, Juri Linkov suggested exactly this change, and moving isearch-yank-line over to M-s C-e. Nothing seemed to come of that suggestion, maybe due to simple inertia. I now propose to make it so. Any objections?
