Re: [clipboard-apis] The ClipboardEvent constructor is strange (#10)

Even if it's only used for writing tests I'd consider that a somewhat important use case ;) I also wanted to make synthetic paste events with actual data payloads functional so that scripts that want to preserve modularity could use synthetic paste events for data exchange. For example, say I write a user JS / Greasemonkey script that keeps a library of "clip art" and can insert images into any editor component capable of handling a paste, or a "snippets" type library that can run on any page, send XHR to the user's private service to load their stored snippets and insert them on demand in any context.. I think we make some neat things possible or simpler here.
