[issue32424] Rename copy() to __copy__() in xml.etree.ElementTree.Element Python implementation

[Paul Ganssle]

Paul Ganssle <p.ganssle at gmail.com> added the comment:

@Andrew Are you suggesting that a `copy` method be *added* to the C implementation, as an alias to __copy__? Because it makes no sense to keep the pure Python and C implementations out of sync just so that it's easier for projects forking the pure Python implementation to maintain backwards compatibility with their earlier implementations.
