I don't have any of that stuff. My clipboard contains "5678". No new-lines, no
characters, no space, no nothing.

Either they are _only_ for in-app pastes, in which case they should be
grayed-out for out-of-app contents; or they are also for out-of-app pastes, in
which case my text should have been pasted.

1. The clipboard content in my case qualifies as at least two out of the three
categories.
2. That's not what the names suggest. <- addressed by your improvement idea.
3. That's not what MS Excel does AFAICR.
