The 'Paste Plus' command also has code that strips off leading 
interpreter prompt characters ('>>>' or '...') so it allows you to 
copy/paste to/from docs, emails, etc. that may be showing an interactive 
interpreter session.  It seems to me however that the regular paste 
should be able to do the Right Thing for a multi-line text value, at 
least when there are no prompts that need stripping.  If somebody wants 
to check into this and come up with something I'll review a patch.
