As you can see from their types, these functions use callbacks, so
they are a bit more complicated to interface.
And of course all they can do can already be done through the more
low-level signal-based API.
If you have good examples of applications using non-string data in
clipboard, then it might be worth considering.
(By the way, the _targets function were added in 2.4)
