In many cases where Vim is used as an intermediate step in a series of steps it is helpful to abort when the user explicitly exits vim with a non-zero exit code. What that means in this project is that if the user who is editing the buffer decides that he/she does NOT wish to overwrite the clipboard (maybe they realized they have something important) they would quit Vim with `:cq` instead of the normal ways. This means they can write the file all they want and it will not be copied to the clipboard if they use the `:cq` command. Granted the utility of this is debatable making this change optional.
