The consistency I meant is for C-y and M-y to have the same non-isearch
meaning in isearch mode: for C-y to yank last killed text into the search
string, and for M-y to yank earlier kills into the search string.
But not all consistencies are equally good. C-y is a bad keybinding for
isearch-yank-line, and making S-Insert consistent with a bad keybinding
makes things worse: it doesn't do what beginners expect (the initial
request was exactly about this, i.e. "I can't paste via Shift+Insert
or yank via C-y") and also it takes away a good keybinding from other
users to exit isearch and to yank with one key.
