Skip a step when pasting custom icons

Not sure when they slipped this in, and it's a tad obvious if you think about it, but on my 10.3.3 machines, you don't have to bother opening the Get Info window for the source custom icon. Instead, you can just hit Command-C on the object in the Finder, then Command-V into the custom icon field of the Get Info window for the destination object. If the file you copied isn't an image format, the Finder knows to paste the icon instead of doing nothing.

I'd being doing the old way since System 7, it never occurred to me that the first Get Info in the sequence was no longer necessary.
