I'm doing copies from one subvolume to another, through a mounted top
level (id5) at /mnt/int.

This copies the whole file conventionally (no shared extents)
$ sudo cp /mnt/int/home/chris/Downloads/Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-27-1.6.iso
/mnt/int/root00/var/lib/libvirt/images/

This is a reflink copy
$ sudo cp --reflink
/mnt/int/home/chris/Downloads/Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-27-1.6.iso
/mnt/int/root00/var/lib/libvirt/images/

This is also a refink copy, with the original removed.
$ sudo mv /mnt/int/home/chris/Downloads/Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-27-1.6.iso
/mnt/int/root00/var/lib/libvirt/images/

Seems to me any request to duplicate should be optimized by default
with an auto reflink when possible, and require an explicit option to
inhibit.
