A builtin "cp" supporting the -a option (preserve ownership, permissions,
and mod times when possible) would be a useful addition to the files
module, and could be called from bin_mv() upon an EXDEV from rename().
That seems like the cleanest way to handle it.
Unfortunately, it'll be a while before I can focus on zsh for that long,
so I encourage someone else to beat me to it ...
