>But why introducing it in the first place, then?

That'd require some memory digging. :-( As I recall, the issue is that if a 
user is copying bits from here and there with the end character being a blank 
then that blank is wanted else the bits wouldn't be concatenated together 
properly. There's no way of knowing which one is the last copy - only the paste 
knows that and, of course, that isn't even true because, after a paste, the 
user may append even more to the clipboard.
