I hear you, but the -p flag does address that, cp and preserve
permissions vs copy data not attributes.
but it reminds me of something I've wondered about. is there
a place for a atomic copy in base, eg copy to tmp file and
rename to target? That would accomplish copy with respect to
uid/gid/umask/etc.
