Proposed resolution:

Change 15.3 Copy [fs.op.copy]:

If is_symlink(f), then:

If options & copy_options::skip_symlinks, then return. Missing != copy_options::none fixed by issue 59

Otherwise if !exists(t) && (options & copy_options::copy_symlinks) != copy_options::none, then copy_symlink(from, to, options).

Otherwise report an error as specified in Error reporting (7).

Addresses: filesys.ts

copy_options::copy_symlinks is not used (should test it before calling copy_symlinks in copy).
