Yes, quite likely.  I was actually thinking about how things work on
Macos for a second -- if you mark text in a program there, it doesn't
seem to do anything inter-program (in my limited experience).  You have
to `Cmd-C' for it to happen.

But I guess Macos doesn't have a primary selection concept.

So perhaps the t value here is the one that makes most sense -- but it
should be more efficient, as you sketched in a previous message.
