This seems to work:

emacs -nw -q --no-site-file

(setq ss (concat (make-string 10 ?X) "," ))


(put-text-property 0 10 'invisible t ss)


(insert ss ss ss "\n" ss ss ss "\n" ss ss ss "\n" ss ss ss "\n" )


(setq kill-whole-line t)

---

Then use ^K to kill the first line.  They all disappear.


(let ((kill-whole-line t))
  (kill-line))


This seems to have the value "kill-region" . . . if that makes any
sense.
