Maybe even synedit could be told to create this format => it has already 
some nice code to create clipboard stuff.

Or it can be extended in SynSourceEditor

Actually, there should be (at least) 2 paste methods. (But for starters 
one would do)

1) Paste, without any question.
Necessary/Optional actions such as units-dependencies, or replacing 
identifiers, can be globally configured
IMHO kept to a minimum by default (insert units into uses, but do not 
update identifiers

2) Paste via feedback dialog (like "extract procedure " already has.
Could offer a growing amount of options. Such as an identifier, to use 
as prefix for calls to the originating-class. Or creation of missing 
fields....
