also calls the postblit. That is strange.

Think of it like this: Blit means bit-by-bit copy, so a postblit 
is a function that is invoked on the result of every bit-by-bit 
copy operation. The default behavior for struct assignment is 
precisely to copy over the contents, so it makes sense for the 
postblit to be invoked in that case.
