 * CopyOperationIntent_t is used to declare what the intent of the copy is.
 * Not a bit-field (for now, at least).
 *
 * CopyOperationIntentCopy indicates that the EA is attached to an object
 * that is simply being copied.  E.g., cp src dst
 *
 * CopyOperationIntentSave indicates that the EA is attached to an object
 * being saved; as in a "safe save," the destination is being replaced by
 * the source, so the question is whether the EA should be applied to the
 * destination, or generated anew.
 *
 * CopyOperationIntentShare indicates that the EA is attached to an object that
 * is being given out to other people.  For example, saving to a public folder,
 * or attaching to an email message.
