Speaking of copy_value, I've often missed a copying function that isn't recursive. That's another one that doesn't exist only because noone found a good name for it. The best I can think of is "copy_level".

For an operation that gives a new array, I think copy is a good name. Then you could call it without the range parameters to get a copy of the whole array as well.
Hm, maybe the range parameters should simply be added to copy_value?
