According to the Carbon pasteboard documentation, the Carbon pasteboard API supports multiple items, while NSPasteboard does not. I find this surprising; is it still true?

I want to copy/paste/drag-and-drop multiple items in my app. Is there any normal or standard way to do this?

Is there a way to convert between Carbon PasteboardRefs and Cocoa NSPasteboards? The Carbon docs say "Pasteboard Manager pasteboards are fully-compatible with Cocoa NSPasteboard objects." Does this mean they're interchangeable, like NSStrings and CFStringRefs?

The Carbon Pasteboard has built in support for multiple items. The NSPasteboard approximates this feature in some cases with special "multiple item" flavors like NSFilenamesPboardType and NSFilesPromisePboardType.
