        Introduction
        ------------
        
        When copying and pasting an object in Plone the workflow state of the
        newly pasted object is set to the initial state.  Sometimes you want
        to keep the original state.  This is what ``zest.specialpaste`` does.
        
        
        Use case
        --------
        
        You use Plone to store some information about clients in a folder.
        You have created a standard folder with a few sub folders and several
        documents, images and files that you use as a template for new
        clients.  For new clients some of these objects should already be
        published.  You have set this up correctly in the template or sample
        folder.  You copy this folder, go to a new location and use the
        'Special paste' action from ``zest.specialpaste`` to paste the objects
        and let the review state of the new objects be the same as their
        originals.
        
        
        Compatibility
        -------------
        
        Tested on Plone 4.0 and 4.1.  Currently it does not work on Plone 3.3;
        that surprises me, so it might be fixable.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        - Add ``zest.specialpaste`` to the ``eggs`` of your buildout (and to
        the ``zcml`` too if you are on Plone 3.2 or earlier, but it does not
        work there currently).  Rerun the buildout.
        
        - Install Zest Special Paste in the Add-on Products control panel.
        This adds a 'Special paste' action on objects and registers a
        browser layer that makes our @@special-paste browser view available.
        
        
        Future ideas
        ------------
        
        - We can add a form in between where you can specify what should be
        special for the paste.  When selecting no options it should do the
        same as the standard paste action.
        
        - Allow keeping the original owner.
        
        - Take over local roles.
        
        - Make compatible with Plone 3.3 as well.
