Copy file without a copy task

I can do a

delete 'file.ext'

in order to delete a file.

Is there no

copy 'src' 'dest'

? I would like to keep my gradle scirpts short.

Check out the DSL documentation for [Project.copy()](http://gradle.org/docs/nightly/dsl/org.gradle.api.Project.html#org.gradle.api.Project:copy(groovy.lang.Closure))
