:-) because I use it like this very often, in particular for ASCII  
export - I export and then paste in another program.

I do not use it like this with HTML for example - but I hardly ever  
rely on the fact that the clipboard/kill is still the same after   
running an export command.

I would be certainly be possible to convince me that we should change  
the default - but as of now, I am not convinced.
