I think that would be worthwhile. Romans suggestion seems elegant. 
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to implement/test/update the docs,
(It takes some time before all these things are updated properly).
but if you provide these as patches, and make a post on the dev list, I 
can manage to include it. If its possible to overload copy_range, I 
would prefer that. If you don't have the time, I'll put it on my todo list.
