bug#31097: 27.0.50; Interprogram paste is destructively modified |

Consider the following case:
(defvar my-paste '("foo" "bar"))
(defun my-paste () my-paste)
(setq interprogram-paste-function #'my-paste)
my-paste ; => ("foo" "bar")
(current-kill 0 t) ; => "foo"
my-paste ; => ("foo")
This is clearly a contrived use of interprogram-paste-function, but IMO
functions ought not needlessly make destructive changes to non-internal
values not known to be newly created.
Patch to follow in case others share my opinion.
Thanks,
