Hi, Emacs!
In Isearch mode, C-y yanks the text up to the end of the current line.
If point is already at EOL (e.g., you've just done a C-y), C-y does
nothing. This is not useful.
I propose that C-y should instead yank to the next EOL, so that repeated
`C-y's yank succesive lines. Here is a patch which does this:

If you send this with a diff for etc/NEWS and for the Emacs Manual,
we can install it.

Here's the patch again, together with a manual change (to search.texi)
and a NEWS entry, as requested by RMS.
I've also slipped in a NEWS entry about my Isearch mode scrolling
facility. OK, it should _really_ be a separate patch, but ......
