I am unsure what do you expect from xterm, but perhaps it is not 
responsibility of a terminal application.

Multiple lines can be copied to regular BASH prompt (bracketed paste is 
enabled by default nowadays), however it may be inconvenient to edit.

You may use edit-and-execute-command (C-x C-e) (BASH, not Emacs key 
binding) to start an editor and to paste multiple commands there.

See also "fc" BASH built-in for editing and re-executing last commands.
