Couching it in as many disclaimers of ignorance of the full implications of
the suggestion as I know how, I thought I had made the suggestion clear.
That "copy" be a built_in, rather than imported functionality. If feasible,
I am suggesting (rather, feel confident) that "little" change would be a big
help - especially to the self-directed learner.
