I guess what I'm trying to get at is:

A) Most of the time, the default behaviour of what fpc_copy_proc does seems
like it would be what you wanted anyways

B) The level of indirection between a `Copy` operator you do decide to
implement yourself and how it ends up getting called seems undesirable
(`fpc_copy_proc` actually itself does nothing but call a function called
`fpc_copy`, for example, and obviously is not inlined away despite the fact
that whoever wrote it did actually mark it as `inline.`)
