Sorry no, the IndexSchema won't recursively apply copyFields. As i
recall it was implemented this way partly for simplicity, and largly to
protect people against the risk of infinite loops. we could probably
make a more sophisticated impl that detects infinite loops, but that check
would slow things down and all solr could really do with it is throw an
error.
