This is a default evaluation here.  I really don't think that middle paste
is a very good default, but it'd be suicidal to remove it totally.  Themes
should control this.

DnD and rightclick copy are better ways for copy/paste, but *this* piece of
legacy functionality is keepable by option.

Opinion?
