Following this with `DEL' adds that char back! Is this behavior intended (a feature) or a bug? Seems like a useful feature, to me. But AFAICT, it is documented nowhere. The doc should, in addition to mentioning this, document `DEL' and `C-M-w' together. Do not document `C-M-w' only in the context of yanking - that makes no sense. And that doc of both together should point out clearly what the differences are, including the fact that `DEL' can cancel searching but `C-M-w' never does that.
