Yes I want to edit it from the end. Beginning of the statement is mostly
common, I just want to replace "b.h>" with "c.h>".

In some languages (like Java), it is even more required because the class
hierarchy is usually very deep. For example,

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Configurable;

and now I want to import "Value" or "Required" class from the same
package. So I would like to do,

M-x duplicate-line RET M-<backspace> V a l u e ;

And repeating would be even more easier,

M-x RET M-<backspace> R e q u i r e d ;

If the pointer is at the beginning then it might be slightly
inconvenient.
