 8.3 ‘copy-region-as-kill’
 =========================
 
 The ‘copy-region-as-kill’ function copies a region of text from a buffer
 and (via either ‘kill-append’ or ‘kill-new’) saves it in the
 ‘kill-ring’.
 
    If you call ‘copy-region-as-kill’ immediately after a ‘kill-region’
 command, Emacs appends the newly copied text to the previously copied
 text.  This means that if you yank back the text, you get it all, from
 both this and the previous operation.  On the other hand, if some other
 command precedes the ‘copy-region-as-kill’, the function copies the text
 into a separate entry in the kill ring.
