This has been bugging me, and has been discussed before, e.g.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-11/msg00485.html
Back in that 2008 thread, Juri Linkov suggested exactly this change, and
moving isearch-yank-line over to M-s C-e.
Nothing seemed to come of that suggestion, maybe due to simple inertia.
I now propose to make it so. Any objections?
