Cannot redirect `wl-paste` to `.sh` file.

[Rodrigodd]

Reproduction

1. Copy any plain text, like the shell code below:

echo "hello $1"

2. And run

wl-paste > hello.sh

What happens

The command returns:

Clipboard content is not available as inferred output type "application/x-sh"
Use "wl-paste --list-types" to view available types. Use "--type" to explicitly specify a type.

Expected behavious

It just works, by fallbacking from application/x-sh to txt/plain, or by never inferring application/x-sh in the first case (I not aware of the use case of this mime type).

Workaround

wl-paste | cat > hello.sh

Hi!

wl-paste | cat > hello.sh

rather, try: wl-paste --type text > hello.sh
