I think the conclusion up-thread was that if the entry is edited
before it's inserted, then the edited entry should be added to the
head of the kill-ring, and the pointer set there.  IOW, if I edit the
previous kill and insert it, the edited string becomes the one I get
on the next C-y.  The discussion concluded that doing this is possible
without extensive changes, whereas the other alternative is "hard" as
it goes against the current design and implementation of the functions
involved in this.  I'm okay with this behavior, and it is easy to
describe in the manual and easy to remember.
