Just a thin wrapper around shutil.copy2 and shutil.copytree. Most
non-parsing pathlib operations

For my edification, how is copy in pathlib proposed to be implemented?
Just call out to the OS to do the copy? Do the copy by reading and
writing?

Path-related operations involve creating, linking, symlinking, and
listing directories and files, and peripherally also accessing file

This is a great idea — I suggest a PR would be in order, and the good news
is that a doc addition could be back-ported to all supported versions.
However, I don’t agree that copy does not belong on pathlib. I get the
point, but practically beat
