This PR is just a thought starter. What would it be like to be able to paste data into reedline and have it manipulate that data?
In this example, I paste some shell script syntax and it's changed to nushell syntax.
Input from clipboard:
Output in reedline command buffer
(note the different env var syntax and the line continuation characters are removed)

I was thinking it would be cool to have some type of hook/callback where in nushell one could provide a custom command/script/module to manipulate data that is pasted. I'm not even sure that it's possible, but like I said, this is a thought starter.
I do not expect this PR to land. Just wanted to use it as an example.
