Of course.  I'm only providing the keybinding I thought up on-the-fly,
not the one I would install to emms-playlist-mode.

It inserts the contents of the playlist file at point.  Killing and
yanking only works for my purposes when the tracks of a playlist are
already in an EMMS buffer.

Sure.  If you would prefer, I could even add something to the manual
in the same patch that would install this change.  I'm trying to get
into the habit of doing that.
