> What connection between copying of primitive simple stack values and memcpy are you suggesting here?

They're just using 'memcpy' as a shorthand for saying the bitpattern is blitted. Semantically, that's like a memcpy. The point is, there are no expensive allocations, nor do any embedded pointer fields need adjusted, etc.
