Repeated invocations with no intervening commands will run successively through the matches for RE in the kill-ring, replacing the previously-yanked text with the new match each time, without prompting for a new regular expression, ...
This sounds very handy. I cannot say I have been longing for such a command, but now that I know it exist I will probably find uses for it. Taking advantage of what is in the kill ring is something I have mostly underestimated. There isn't any other way to do this in standard Emacs, is it?
