Ah, so this is about the doc string of insert-for-yank, not its
subroutine.

I agree that the doc string of insert-for-yank should describe what it
does.  What it says now hardly qualifies as documentation, and
referring to an internal subroutine for that is, shall we say,
suboptimal ;-)

Feel free to improve the doc string of insert-for-yank.

Thanks.
