Please improve the class IO::Path routines copy() and move()

[kolikov]

Methods copy and move expect only a file as their $to argument

my $src = IO::Path.new('/home/zz/file.gz');
my $dest = IO::Path.new('/home/zz/tmp');
$src.move($dest);

Actual Behavior

Failed to move '/home/zz/zz.tar.gz' to '/home/zz/tmp': Failed to move file: illegal operation on a directory.

Expected Behavior

As a the good old 'cp' or 'mv' commands in Linux (move/copy the file into the target directory), as IO::Path has methods to identify files from directories, Make the 'move' and 'copy' a multi sub with a signature test for a file on $from and directory for $to.

That would be BTA 👍
Except if it breaks too much things ... or @zoffixznet 's heart :-)

Environment

• Operating system: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wjump-missed-init" #1 SMP Debian 4.14.13-1 (2018-01-14) x86_64
• Compiler version (perl6 -v): Rakudo version 2017.10 MoarVM version 2017.10 Perl 6.c.

👍 Makes sense to me.

Would also mirror how Perl 5's core File::Copy behaves.

👍 Makes sense to me.

After the discussions on #2043 , IMO this should be an ecosystem module first

This issue is still confusing people:
