Some time ago Samuel Wales had a very interesting question on the Emacs mailing list. He sometimes kills some portion of text to yank it elsewhere, but gets distracted and forgets about the yanking. This way, the text is lost. He basically wants to make the “kill-yank” cycle atomic so that you never end up in the intermediate step where the information is lost.
