Lets be honest, ``copy'' is a really bad name. For all those reasons
and probably more :-)

store is interesting. Perhaps Michael's ``gcore'' command be called
store? Probably not since it is createing a core file and not an
executable. However as an alias it might make sense.
read/write are also interesting. Good documentation and a help message
should clarify the direction. With read, care would be needed since
``r'' is short for ``run''.
