Description
Lots of time could be saved hacking scripts if support for this flag was implemented, even if it is just ignored.

Does the following workaround work for you ?
1. Use /usr/bin/sh or /usr/bin/ksh
2. Use in a script "builtin cp" at the top of the script and call '"cp" without full path, e.g. "cp" ?

This is a trivial RFE except for one problem... -a implies --preserve=links. Of course, we don't have the support for link preservation in illumos cp.
