Comment (by daira):

 When I said +1 for option 1, I was thinking that the previous behaviour of
 cases (B) and (C) --i.e. copying the contents of a dircap into a
 directory-- would become inexpressible. However I now understand the error
 in option 3 to be saying that "you must specify a previously nonexisting
 destination directory name". In that case you could still write:

 * (K) `cp -r DIRCAP local/missing -> local/missing`

 would be consistent with cases (F) and (I), because `local/missing`
 becomes a copy of `DIRCAP`.
