If it helps, I think that that is true of all alternatives presented
so far (though I haven't read the big patch fully yet). The difference is
that the consumers who copy the candidate strings will only copy a much
smaller number, typically only the ones that need to be displayed.
Whereas currently, all candidate strings are copied, displayed or not.
