Reading closer, I see that copy() has the shell-like semantics I was expecting copyfile() to have. Perhaps the right fix is to include a note in the copyfile() docs saying, "dst must be a file path; see also copy() for a version which allows dst to be a directory". It might also make sense to move copy() to the top of the list, because it is the one which has the most shell-like semantics.
