Maybe not on yours, Steve, but it is on mine.
I want my pastes to conform *precisely* with my usual written text format
(by default), and I still think the majority would agree with
that.
Then the exceptions to that rule could then be handled as, well,
as exceptions, i.e., you could use an external editor, change the
default, etc.
Doing it your way, *everything* is an "exception."

What they should do, in my opinion, is handle all text, both written
and pasted, according to the same default rule.
If I come across an exception, *then* I can change things.

I want *my* pastes to conform with my written text -- call it
whatever you want to call it. Whether I type it in or paste it in,
I want it to all look the same -- automatically.
$.25 says the majority agrees?
