bug#17936: [SUGGESTION] cp behavior

[Devyn Collier Johnson]

GNU Developers:

   I would like to make a suggestion for the "cp" command. As we all 
know, the cp command accepts two arguments (cp SRC DEST). Could someone 
add a little feature to give the cp command an interesting feature that 
the "copy" command on DOS uses? On DOS, when "copy" is given one 
argument (the source file), the command will assume the destination is 
the current working directory. Can such a feature be added to "cp"? It 
is awful that a command by Microsuck has an awesome feature that no 
Unix, Linux, or GNU guru has added to the popular GNU-coreutils command. 
Also, if such a feature is added to "cp", can "mv" also get the same 
feature?

Thanks,
Devyn Collier Johnson
