Equivalently, how do you use --parents with cp(1) without going into
the appropriate directory?

The option only works when there is a concept of a current working
directory.

In case it is really required, another option can be added, similar to
the --directory option of tar(1).

Don't know, I never used that option.

Ah, thanks, I wasn't sure if it is just me not being able to figure it
out.

Having a spec and a precedent (by referring to cp/tar), you might want
to move your proposal on to the dev list.
