xclip -loops for pass

Folks,
I just had a bit of fun with `pass`, and one of the things I did was
try to come up with a wrapper that would put the username on the
clipboard until it was pasted, and then the password, until it was
pasted. I used `xclip -loops 1` for that.
And this made me realise: `pass` uses `xclip` internally, right? Why
the 45 second wait and overwrite? `xclip -loops 1` makes the
password available once exactly, and after a paste, the clipboard is
empty.
What's more: wouldn't this be cool functionality? `pass both
example.org/uid` and I get the username for one paste, and then the
password for one paste?
Looking forward to your thoughts…
Best,
