In POSIX cp would just overwrite a file by default, without requiring the -f option. This quite surprised me. Was this done to make the cp behaviour a bit saver? In that case, would it be possible to mention this in the docs?

I agree, this is something that probably should be documented. I think it would be even better to add the -n option and make -f the default (and simply keep it there for legacy reasons).

This is now fixed in ShellJS v0.6. Thanks for reporting this, @lvanengelen 👍
