My question was in the context of ad-hoc calculations, using data
quickly pulled out of other programs running on my desktop---cut
from one application, paste into Octave, calculate/plot. I wanted
to avoid having to go through other programs like editors and

Thanks to Mike for pointing out this Readline functionality that
works great in all environments I care about:
Yes, you are looking for the readline option
"enable-bracketed-paste".
Add
set enable-bracketed-paste on
to your ~/.inputrc and it should be taken care of
automatically if you
are using any common terminal emulator that supports this
feature.
