When the change is less than one line, I use this method, except I
just use the scratch register:

s"<c-r>""<esc>

For more than one line, I have to think, because using this method
does weird things depending on your indentation of the block, and
your 'paste' settings. I.e., your contents can end up
stair-stepping across the screen.
