But wouldn't it be handy, generally, to be able to just
convert an existing `kill-*' function to a `delete-*' function?
That is, bind some flag to indicate that the deleted text is
not to be added to the kill ring:
(let ((kill-p nil)) (backward-kill-word arg))
What about this:
(defun backward-delete-word (arg)
(interactive "p")
(let (kill-ring kill-ring-yank-pointer)
(backward-kill-word arg)))
Wunderbar! Thank you. I should have thought of that.
