When the frame is too wide or too long, summary/expand_repr kick in
and the contents of the clipboard are unusable.

Could perhaps introduce an option to enforce a limit on row count (10,000? 100,000? )
and/or add a force keyword in to_clipboard() since copying a huge amount into the
clipboard can hang.

now that it uses to_csv by default (#5070 ), it's only relevent with excel=false

Use to_string() to format DataFrames for clipboard.
643267c 
Using str() has some unhelpful properties, especially when DataFrames
are large enough that the default repr does not show them in their
entirety. The defaults for to_string() are more helpful for the
clipboard.
