Create duplicate iCal events via drag-and-drop

Simple but useful bit I noticed in iCal recently: You can duplicate events by holding down the Option key while dragging. Just like duplicating layers of text in Adobe apps, or a file in the Finder.

[robg adds: I thought we'd covered this here before, but I couldn't find it (searching on ical is hard to do). It also brings up an iCal annoyance of mine -- once you start a drag operation (copy or not), you can't cancel it. So if you started dragging the wrong event, for instance, you have to complete the drag first, then use Command-Z to undo it, then re-drag the event you meant to grab in the first place. How about Escape to cancel, as is possible in the Finder?]
