Since there are two key sequences pre-bound to yank-last-arg, why not
create a macro that first performs M-> (to take you to the end of the
history), then invokes M-_ to yank the last argument of the last
command?
Something like
"\M-.":"\M->\M-_"
would probably get you started. The macro facility offers you a lot
of flexibility.
