It may be useful for other cut/paste, but I'm not sure that the
information has use in this context. The flags, certainly. But simply
by existing while the operation occurs, I think the paste/replace
problem is solved.
While I'm thinking about it, and not quite related, a "down" command in
the last line of the document should either move to the end of that
paragraph, or add a return to the end, create a new paragraph, and move
to it. I find myself sticking a bunch of periods or hard spaces in
their own paragraphs at the end while writing, just to avoid this.
hmm, maybe it's not as easy as it looks; possibly similar behavior
should happen in the last lines of sections under certain circumstances?
