Apologies if this has been debated, if so feel free to point me at the
thread with the decision.

As I understand it, Gradle will always give access to Ant and so will
always carry a dependency on Ant.  Ant has a copy function, so why
replicate this behaviour?

If the issue is simply to avoid:

        ant.copy

by being able to do:

        copy

then there are (relatively) straightforward ways using the metaclass
infrastructure of allowing this.  Gant uses a (probably overcomplicated)
way of doing exactly this so acts as a proof of possibility.
