[bugs:#2484] SCN_MODIFIED: distinguishing between typing and pasting

I'm interested in the SC_MOD_INSERTCHECK, SC_MOD_INSERTTEXT and SC_MOD_DELETETEXT notifications types of SCN_MODIFIED.
These notifications may happen when:
- either a character has been typed on the keyboard (or, in case of SC_MOD_DELETETEXT, the Delete or BackSpace button has been pressed);
- or a text has been pasted from the clipboard.

I'd like to be able to distinguish these two cases.
For example, in case of SC_MOD_INSERTCHECK or SC_MOD_INSERTTEXT, I want to provide one kind of reaction to a character pressed by user (a "typing flow") and to provide another kind of reaction to text pasted from the clipboard (a "pasting flow"). How can I achieve that?
