} Shouldn't this be the default behavior?

We had quite a bit of discussion on related topics when bracketed-paste
was added.  The general idea is that a paste is treated as a unit, and
the default behavior of bracketed-paste-magic is to restrict its action
to remain "inside" that unit.

backward-extend-paste is appropriate when bracketed-paste-magic combines
with url-quote-magic, but not necessarily so in other cases.  paste-init
(and paste-finish) can be used for this kind of thing generically; the
backward-extend action is included by default, but has to be turned on.
