Bug Description
Sadly we now live in a world of blogs giving users privileged commands to copy paste blindly into their terminals..
They're usually sudo prefixed, and often the paste includes the newline character.. Resulting in immediate execution.
To avoid mishaps, it would be nice if pantheon-terminal was to intercept copy pastes of privileged commands,
by checking the prefix for privilege escalation, and the EUID of the current pty.
A warning or a "sure you want to do this?" could be nice, with perhaps a toggle behaviour.
