This would require a flag, e.g. "did_set_selection". When resetting
clip_unnamed before doing a global operation, this flag would be reset.
Then when text is deleted or yanked, clip_own_selection() will be
called, and if the register used matches the register that would be
associated with clip_unnamed, then set the "did_set_selection" flag.
When restoring clip_unnamed, check if "did_set_selection" was set, and
if it is call clip_own_selection() to get the current unnamed register
into the clipboard.
It's a bit sketchy, there are probably a few more details to work out,
but basically it would work to avoid putting text on the clipboard many
times and still end up with the correct clipboard contents in the end.
If we can make this work properly we can avoid users having to be aware
of this and just enjoy the much faster operation.
