One example where copy-line would be useful is editing configuration
files. E.g. /etc/ssh/sshd_config list many options with the default
value but as comments, like so:
#SyslogFacility AUTH
#LogLevel INFO
... other options ...
Now, if I want to change LogLevel to say DEBUG, I would copy the line,
keep the original, and edit the copied line.
Not hard to do in Emacs, but somehow the vi way of doing this feels more
efficient.
