Currently being Copy equates with being Pod. The more time passes and
the more code examples I see, it is amazing the amount of ugliness that
it causes. I wonder if there is a way out.

Part of the problem is that a lot of library code assumes that Copy types can be copied by just moving bytes around. Having copy constructors would mean that this simplifying assumption would have to change. It's doable, I suppose, but having copy constructors would have a significant downside.
