I deeply doubt that the clipboard CONTENT is responsible for the
problems. That's merely a problem in the workflow.

My approach is rather adding a debug facility that can be enabled at
runtime instead of compile time so that a user can enable it as
needed.

A zapping keystroke could be implemented but I really consider as a
temporary. I'd love to see the problems vanish altogether...
