That's really strange --- I'm not getting the quotes; in fact, I first
tried (buffer-substring (1+ (point-min)) (1- (point-max))) thinking it
would trim the quotes, and I lost the first and last chars of the RE.
Wierd.

That's a great idea, but I think it would require a global keybinding
to that new command to be really useful, since you never know where
you're going to want to yank the RE.

Alas, that's deeper in the lisp pool than I can swim.
