Not exactly. I want to cut&paste as text. I.e. if I cut the chars
'\sqrt{2}' outside of math and I paste it inside math, I want to display it
as real square root. Or if I cut a fraction inside math and I paste it
outside, I want to paste it as "\frac{...}{...}".
The functionality of converting math to string and string to math is
already there, it just the interaction with cut&paste that is missing.

Looking again at CutAndPaste it looks doable.
Could the interface of CutAndPaste be extended to accept an ordinary string
as well? The necessary paragraph creation could be done in CutAndPaste,
hiding the fact from the "user" entirely.
I do not really want to touch paragraph related stuff in mathed...

I should know, but I forgot...
