FWIW the reason XRoar doesn't do this yet is that SDL2 doesn't abstract
"paste", so I'd have to look into the windows- and macosx- specific
ways to do this (not that macosx builds work since I stopped having a
mac of course...).

Assuming paste event can be trapped and accessing cut buffer/clipboard
is straightforward on those archs, there are two ways that come to mind
for passing it to the emulated machine:

1. Intercept BASIC keyboard scanning ROM call.  That's what "-type" does.
Fast (can feed text as quickly as the ROM reads it), but not compatible
with applications that bypass this (or OS-9, of course).

2. Simulate timed keypress/release.  Always going to be slower if it's
going to be reliable.  Entering a whole program may take a while!

(Either way, probably a good idea to have a physical keypress interrupt
this, as you might lose control for a long time...)

Any idea which of the above approaches this takes?  Also, where is
this function?  Middle button paste doesn't work, and I can't find it
in the menus (reasonably recent build from git).
