Perhaps we would benefit from a --preserve=supported-xattr option?
If we go that route, it might be a bit better if the new option-arg
began with 'xattr' rather than ended with 'xattr' so that it's easier to
find in the doc. Perhaps something like --preserve='xattr-try'?
I'm not quite seeing the motivation, though. Why are scripts using
--preserve=xattr rather than the much-simpler '-a'? That is, why
preserve xattr but not other metadata?
