Actually you can move backward by simply undoing.  But then you can't
move forward again.  The fact that yankpopping clutters the undo stack
is IMHO a bug.  Maybe it would be better if yankpop would work more
like dabbrev (the standard one, not Günter's), getkeying until you
press something other than M-y, if you press C-g the yank is undone.
 
The kill-ring must be an old feature, it's not a slang array but a C
thing.  I wrote an iyank() for incremental yanking.  Unfortunately it
wipes out the undo information for the buffer, and I don't know why,
but I'll upload it some day.
