WYMINWYS - What you mean is not what you see.

Purpose of my function `rcd-kill-new' is not to send message what was
killed, but in general to be able to intercept information and
eventually record it, track it, or generate statistics out of it,
which in turn gives information how to shorten workflows or which new
functions to make. Imagine many programming lines, without direct
`kill-new' function and much of killing activity. Inspection of what
was killed leads to improvements.
