That, my friend, is a seriously slick idea. I will try that out and
report back.

I have this mostly working, but it's not a satisfactory solution.
My problem is with posting the CGEvents for a command-v operation.
I've found that if I do everything inline (snapshot, replace,
paste, restore snapshot), then the restore operation executes
before the CGEvent gets processed. It posts just fine, but it
seems like the execution of the event is asynchronous.
What if you only put a promise on the pasteboard? When the
pasteboard server asks you to fulfill the promise, you can be
reasonably certain that it was because the paste operation in the
other app is underway. You can fulfill the promise and then
schedule the restoration of the original pasteboard contents with a
0 delay (or maybe 0.2, or something).
