This PR fixes the inconsistent behavior introduced by #60 on Windows that made
arboard
's semantics entirely different on Windows vs the other platforms, preventing reasonable cross-platform usage.In addition, it improves the documentation of
Clipboard
to note that your app's usage of arboard may differ depending on what combination of platforms are being targeted. For example, if you're only targeting macOS and Windows, nothing beyond opening and using the clipboard in a one-off fashion is needed. However if Linux is used1, then one copy of the clipboard should be kept around at all times.Closes #88
