Theoretically, this way you also copy (some) attributes. But it looks like it 
requires some extra effort; [the 
specification](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/nio/file/Files.html#copy(java.nio.file.Path,java.nio.file.Path,java.nio.file.CopyOption...))
 is not particularly clear on that:

    ...File attributes are not required to be copied to the target file.

Does it mean it's implementation-specific?
