FWIW, I agree with Drew C-y M-yyy... is the way to go for me since I
usually don't memorise the kill-ring by heart.
And when we are at it. I do not understand why M-y depends on C-y at
all, lets just take the second entry of kill-ring by default and third
and fourth and so on?
Now we are already 4 forgetful people, could this be made into an
official feature request (for after the release ;-)?
