I've been using bracketed paste for a while now and would also agree.
The question is in what form to provide it? Note that I posted an
alternative mechanism in workers/29898. The patch below is a port of
that to C.

This doesn't use a keymap which I don't think is any loss as such?
Quoting is enabled with a numeric argument. I like the idea of using a
Ctrl-X prefix to enable quoting but a small wrapper function can provide
for that.

With the patch as it stands, which is not meant to be final, users must
still manually enable the mode for their terminal with zle-line-init
etc (I actually append the strings to PS1/PS2/POSTEDIT). It'd certainly
possible to add a setopt option to zsh to automatically output the
enable/disable strings for bracketed paste. Testing a few ancient
terminals (xterm and dtterm on Solaris 10), they seem to have no ill
effect. Perhaps it'd be better to apply some sort of heuristics based on
terminfo, however. Any thoughts on this?

What behaviour would you want in vi-mode? What about with the region
active? Replacing the region might make sense but isn't really what
emacs or vim do.
