OTOH, your readline can't handle inserting text you've just copied in some other application, such as copy snippet from web browser window (e.g. Clojuredocs example) and paste in REPL.
Using the system-wide copy and paste has clear advantages over using an application-internal one. I'm sure I copy and paste across application boundaries much more often than I want a history of past cuts and copies, and on the rare occasions when I need to juggle multiple clipboard snippets, being able to cross application boundaries makes that easy, since I always keep a blank Notepad open anyway (to leave maximized when AFK, to harmlessly absorb any keystrokes typed by paws). I can just paste snippets into that and copy the needed ones. Similarly if I anticipate needing a text snippet intermittently over longer periods, during which the clipboard contents will certainly get clobbered (and then it would have likely fallen off the end of any reasonably-sized "kill ring" or "history" before I was done needing it!) ... and I don't have to try to track in my head a huge amount of invisible state (what's in the ring, where the unseen current-item-pointer is in that ring, etc., just the last thing copied or cut -- the rest is visible if I alt-tab to the Notepad window). Oh, and my method gives me a LAN-wide clipboard, too, since I can use a normally-empty file on a network drive and give that file global write permissions. Paste into file and save; on other computer, refresh view of file and cut/copy.
