Re: How to get rid of text attributes?

The OP finds cut-and-paste of highlighting undesirable, ie, it's an interactive thing. b-s-n-p isn't even a command. And Mats says he almost never wants extents copied with the text, so for GNU compatibility (more precisely, loser code that abuses text properties where they should be used) we're going to want functions that can wipe off the duplicability ex post (eg, in a hook), I think. Or maybe paste-special is the way to go, in which case b-s-n-p isn't the right thing because it's on the cut/copy side, and we're looking for a function on the paste side (ie, from the kill ring, which isn't a buffer, it's a list of strings).
