We should fall back silently to an (inefficient) memory copy or temporary

Each Scintilla view could then be associated with at most

GTK+ would simply manage a list of windows.
- * Add a command for manipulating the clipboard.
- Can be done with ECxclip$ on Unix, but other platforms have
- better methods (e.g. PDCurses has clipboard extensions, GTK+
- has native clipboard support). On ncurses/UNIX we can fall back
- to spawning xclip or copy xclip's functionality.
- Unfortunately, not every UNIX has X11 (e.g. linux console,
- OS X). What do we do on those systems?
- This will also allow us to reverse clipboard modifications.
Optimizations:
* Add G_UNLIKELY to all error throws.
