I don't mean to be picky here, but i think my assertion was and is less
shaky
than yours in that it consumes the opinions of alin.s, A. Soare, Daniel
Colascione and myself.
"C-a C-k C-k C-y C-y" involves 5 key strokes; and it can be dangerous and
easy
to get lost for the beginners too as it involves 2 killings and 2 yankings.
My point is that, since there are at least 4 people in this thread who want,
or
have already defined their version of, 'comment-and-dup' that there probably
are
a lot of existing users that would find it useful. So I think we should at
least
add such a function to simple.el (or the like) for them to use.
