Nope, that's when you are _dropping_. This would be when you are starting
the drag. Those are two distinct and non-overlapping things.
I checked and you're right - this seems to be a Cocoa-introduced
thing. In previous Mac OS versions, if you held Option down _either_
when starting the drag or when stopping, it would mean "copy".
Carbon applications on Mac OS X apparently still do it that way -
it's only Cocoa applications which have the new behaviour. I never
noticed as I usually hold Option down throughout.
At any event, introducing _different_ semantics for Option at the
start or at the end of a drag would confuse things, I'd say...
