Select a string. Cut it. Select another string. Type some letter. Paste.

Acme puts the text user selected the second, not the first, time.

This is likely intended behavior, albeit arguably not _good_ behavior.
If there is a selection, and you replace it, that selection gets cut
into the snarf buffer.

If you open a fresh document, select some text, and overwrite it, that
selection will also appear in the snarf buffer.

This is true on Plan 9 as well.
