On iOS, calling getData('text/plain') after calling setData('text/plain', 'foo') doesn't return 'foo'.

Let me fix this myself. I need to apply one more fix to dataTransfer.types, which always returns the list of all supported types at the moment :(

Can we make this pure virtual instead? I’m sure there is some reason we can’t, but failing at runtime instead of compile time is not a good pattern.

So Pasteboard is the "real" pasteboard we use to write to pasteboard so we can't quite do that. I think the cleaner approach is to only add this to StaticPasteboard and just dynamic_cast dataTransfer->pasteboard(). I was debating that and just adding a virtual function but I'd just add a dynamic_cast instead.

Well, an even cleaner approach is if there was a local variable referencing to a StaticPasteboard in dispatchClipboardEvent itself but that's a bit tricky because StaticPasteboard is not ref-counted (uses unique_ptr).
