Of course, to use the clipboard will destroy its content, but this can be discussed.
Yeah this is really not acceptable. Perhaps there is a way to write the information in some sort of temp file, or an unnamed pipe? (I think there is some trick with something like "<(commandshere)" that you can add to the end of a command, so that the output of commandshere is fed as a filename would have been fed otherwise, or something line that). We do need a way to get things to go back and forth without touching the clipboard. The clipboard is the user's space, we shouldn't be messing with it without the user asking for it.
