+It indeed would be possible for `copy --to` to check the actual file
+size when the key does not have a known size, and use that for progress.
+I don't know how hard it would be.
+
+Note that, even if that were done, there's no guarantee that a given remote
+will update progress information, and if it doesn't, --json-progress
+won't result in any. So your code certianly needs to handle that case.
