I think I would have liked "paste as string literal" ;-) But using the
clipboard for things other than text might be worthwhile, as an
alternative to drag&drop from an Inspector. Then "Paste as reference"
in workspaces -- or something similar in slot view/edit panes in the
debugger, to overwrite the selected value with the previously copied
object -- would be the actual innovation. Albeit the Clipboard class
looks like it only stores text at the moment... but the "outside"
clipboards have supported other data types for ages.
