either a DataEngine or just a Service.

a DataEngine would largely imply keeping the data that's on the clipboard in 
memory all the time; a Service would allow getting the data only when needed 
and discarding it immediately.

there is a clipboard dataengine in playground but it probably needs some 
additional work (and it's been there forever :)

what might work nicely is a dataengine that advertises the various clipboards 
available and whether or not they have changed (allowing visualizations to 
react on clipboard value change), then serviceForSource could return a service 
that could be used to get the actual data off the clipboard.

sounds like something that the pastebin plasmoid could also use :)
