Note that M-x is very different from the other two, since what it takes
is a command to execute, where the others only take a function/variable
to look up. It's very common to want to look up the var/fun at point,
but it's a lot less common to want to run the command at point
(many/most commands operate at point, so for most uses of M-x point is
an argument to the command rather than a way to specify which command to
run. Another way to say it is that it's rather uncommon to want to
apply a command to its name).
As for how I would do what you want: M-b C-M-SPC M-w followed by M-x C-y RET
