 For example, I'm working in a PostGIS multipolygon layer.  I copy a
 polygon (not multi) from a shapefile and paste it into the postGIS layer.
 QGIS doesn't give me a warning or convert the polygon to a multipolygon,
 and editing works fine on the feature.  But when I try to save the PostGIS
 layer, QGIS now gives me an error that there is an invalid geometry type
 and a feature wasn't saved (the one I pasted in).

 I would like it to convert the polygon to multipolygon, and other simple
 conversions.  But at least QGIS should refuse to paste and give a warning
 about a geometry mismatch.
