Too bad. As I understand it, the point of this
feature (which dates from XEmacs, IIRC), is to
provide an (optional) Isearch-specific behavior
for mouse-2 yanking to the search string.
IIUC what Juri has been saying, I too think that
`mouse-yank-at-point' is an inappropriate way to
control (what should be) this Isearch-specific
behavior.
Nothing at all suggests, let alone implies, that
someone who wants this Isearch behavior also wants
non-nil `mouse-yank-at-point' behavior everywhere.
___
You say, "If it turns out to be too surprising".
That's unlikely, as this is opt-in, and its more
likely that few people use this optional behavior
or are even aware of it. More likely is that
only people who already use `mouse-yank-at-point'
non-nil will discover that it yanks to the search
string. Whether they will like that or not I
can't guess, and I don't really care. (At least
the original behavior is still available with
isearch+.el.)
