This is a great idea — I suggest a PR would be in order, and the good news
is that a doc addition could be back-ported to all supported versions.

However, I don’t agree that copy does not belong on pathlib. I get the
point, but practically beats purity and all that.

I think there is an active effort to make pathlib more full featured and
perhaps make shutils redundant. I don’t know the status, but I don’t think
it’s been rejected.

I suggest you try to find that discussion and join in. I’d look in the
archives of this list, gitHub issues, and of course discuss.python.org,
which is where much (most) of these kinds of discussion have moved.
