IMO, the usefulness of things like CPY is being easy to read, without too much noise or boilerplate. (cout "hello") confuses the hell out of those with some C++ experience. It changes semantics if a known object for little gain (cout is callable, a statement)? Like someone else said, a "printout" new statement or function would be better. It's the kind of things that makes me question the design of the whole language.
