  Sure if you want to create a patch that documents it, feel free (BTW it can't set the pointer to null for the caller, that's not how pointers work)

Not convinced, for example kate doesn't do that either.

open kate, type something, press ctrl+a to select it, it only gets selected, not copied to the clipboard

but if you select it with the mouse it then gets copied to the clipboard.

It'd be the same we're doing, so i think this consistency is good to maintain.
