If the information is missing that's because it is not supported. (Ofcourse, it can be an omission and, in this case, we need to fix it.)
"INCLUDING ALL" leads people to believe *everything* is copied.
The fact that it doesn't seem counter intuitive, at least to me.
Therefore, it doesn't seem absurd to me to warn people about what is not copied.
I wrote the original message hoping to help improve the documentation. I could write a draft if I'm allowed to.
I do believe that clarifying this point improves the documentation. If there's a consensus that it doesn't, my apologies for the annoyance.
Cheers.
