+  Some methods of the {{Clipboard}} interface take or return multiple {{ClipboardItem}} objects. However, not all platforms support more than one [=/clipboard item=]; on such platforms, the algorithms below will ignore any {{ClipboardItem}} objects beyond the first one that are passed to {{Clipboard/write()}}, and {{Clipboard/read()}} and {{Clipboard/readText()}} will only ever return a single-item array.

> I'm not sure exactly how multiple `clipboard item`s are written to the clipboard on Mac, but at least in Chromium we always pick the first `ClipboardItem` and ignore the rest. Hence the text `then add |data|[0] to |dataList|` in `write()` method.

Makes sense.
