So what semantics do people think BlockClosure>>copy should have?  I think I
wasn't thinking when I wrote the original of the method below.  It seems to
me that all one needs is to do shallowCopy.  Returning from a copy of a
block seems fine. The first method return form a method wins.  e.g. [^1]
copy value should still return.  Makes no sense for it to throw an error.
 So the right resolution is simply to delete postCopy.
