That is arguable, but I'm less clear about that one. If you append a 
linear copy, you could argue that you want it appended linearly. If you 
want the appended content to be on the next line, be that even a single 
line, then you just need to use a rectangular copy. This way you can mix 
both within the same clipboard.
