Could we just add a single binding for "yank as follows" which would put
isearch in a submode where you can move with the usual movement commands and
that corresponding text would thus be yanked?
This way we only need to use a single key-binding and we get to reuse all
the old movement key bindings we all know and love without having to learn
"oh right in isearch, to move forward one word I need C-w rather than M-f
and to move back one word is M-w rather than M-b, and to move one line is
M-l rather than C-p and there's no equivalent to C-M-f and ..."
