ftplib.ftpcp(), undocumented function?

[swordsp@gmail.com]

Hi all,
I found this function recently when I read the source code of ftplib
module, I almost omit it at all and have tried to write it myself for
FXP work.
It seems exist long long ago, but never appeared in any document,
anyone knows why?
Is its implementation broken or planed to be removed from standard
library?

Probably the only ways to find out are: 1. studying the code and
relevant standards carefully, 2. file a patch that documents it, and
see if people pop up to complain that it shouldn't be documented.
