I thought that Graham wanted to copy it so he could set the fenv
separately without disturbing the fenv of the original function -- but
now I realize my method won't work either, as the wrapped function will
use its old fenv, not the wrapper's ...

So I guess for his purpose, some sort of lower-level copy would be
necessary.
