Too bad that `M-o M-o' is undocumented.  At least I cannot find it in the Emacs
manual. And I see nothing about it in the help for `yank' and its linked help,
including for `yank-excluded-properties'.  

The doc should clarify more generally the relation between font-lock mode and
(yanking) text with properties.  In particular, even with
`yank-excluded-properties' nil, users will not see text properties on text they
yank if they are in font-lock-mode.
