This is a user command, so the doc is more important than for an
internal function.
What on earth does this mean (from the doc string)?
"This normally preserves the last-modified date when copying."
What does "normally" mean? When does it not preserve that date+time?
How can a user control what date+time is used when the file is copied?
A little help for users, please. See the Emacs manual for inspiration.
The doc string here should refer to `dired-copy-preserve-time', and it
should drop the vague "normally" hand-waving.
