It's easier to remove the unwanted characters if there isn't very much
text being pasted or if all the unwanted characters are at the end ...
but if there are a bunch of backslashes scattered throughout a large
paste it gets ugly.

} seems more helpful and more flexible.

Yes, invoking quote-region after the paste allows you to first clean up
the tail end before adding the quotes, so you get the best of both.
