Sure. Every windblows editor natively does this-> When I select a word by 
clicking on it, it does not copy the word to the clipboard.
I can then C-v to paste into the selected item. Move to another word, 
highlight it, and paste the same word as before. Whereas emacs, when I 
highlight a word, copies the text into the clipboard 'ring', I can only 
paste what I have in the clipboard only once. Like this-
C-c: "this phrase"

highlight: "the phrase to be overwritten"
C-v: "this phrase"

when I try to paste a second time, what gets pasted is
"the phrase to be overwritten"
instead of "this phrase"
