No, it has nothing to do with implementation. It is a user-level operation.
Just like using `C' in Dired is a user-level copy operation.

Almost, but not quite. The purpose of the command, what the command does, is to
make a new window...that is a copy of the selected window: same buffer.
The command copies the selected window. It does _not_ just make a new window.
It makes a new window with the same buffer (and same window-point value etc.).
And that's the point.
