    Can't be done.

    "/bin/mv", yes. Makes complete sense to move a full file with all
    "subforks". It's actually very similar to a directory move.

    But /bin/cp cannot do the same, at least not without teaching it to do
    the same thing as for a recursive directory copy (which a regular UNIX
    cp wouldn't even try to do on a regular file). But the recursive
    directory copy approach should work.

    At least in theory.
