* It is the field _value_ which is copied, not the terms (which result from the analysis process).
* The original <<mapping-source-field,`_source`>> field will not be modified to show the copied values.
* The same value can be copied to multiple fields, with `"copy_to": [ "field_1", "field_2" ]`
* You cannot copy recursively via intermediary fields such as a `copy_to` on
`field_1` to `field_2` and `copy_to` on `field_2` to `field_3` expecting
indexing into `field_1` will eventuate in `field_3`, instead use copy_to
directly to multiple fields from the originating field.
