There is a ":yank" command but it acts linewise. Here we want a
characterwise yank, so we cannot use :yank.
The function you proposed is so complex I would run much more risk when
trying to construct it than with ":normal yl".
If the complexity is similar, I use the ex-command in scripts, for
instance ":wincmd k" rather than ":normal ^Wk" where ^W would be
obtained by hitting Ctrl-V followed by Ctrl-W.
Best regards,
