libtmux::Pane::paste(buffer: const Buffer &, consume: bool = false) -> expected< void, CommandFailure >
```

Deliver a buffer's text to this pane, as if it had been typed.

The text arrives on the command line and is not run: a caller wanting it executed sends Enter afterwards, which is the same distinction `send_text` draws.

`consume` is tmux's `-d`, deleting the buffer once it has been pasted, which is what a caller treating it as a one-shot transfer wants.
