Not yet: kill-whole-line = always

I am late in joining this discussion. But as another point of
reference: many people here use a little bit of e-lisp to make
C-k kill and eat the line if the point is at the start of the
line and kill to end of line if it is elsewhere. If you keep
the point at the start of the line, multiple C-k operations
work as Ben described. Otherwise, it works as it has always
done. Is this behaviour a useful one to consider as the default?
