I'm ok to use approach 1, but could you please divide a large patch? E.g.,
0001. defines an infrastructure for copy-API
0002. adjusts current codes to use APIs
0003. adds a test module in src/test/modules or contrib.
...
This approach helps reviewers to see patches deeper. Separated patches can be
combined when they are close to committable.
