            This method is now deprecated; use `model_copy` instead.

        If you need `include` or `exclude`, use:

        ```python {test="skip" lint="skip"}
        data = self.model_dump(include=include, exclude=exclude, round_trip=True)
        data = {**data, **(update or {})}
        copied = self.model_validate(data)
        ```

        Args:
            include: Optional set or mapping specifying which fields to include in the copied model.
            exclude: Optional set or mapping specifying which fields to exclude in the copied model.
            update: Optional dictionary of field-value pairs to override field values in the copied model.
            deep: If True, the values of fields that are Pydantic models will be deep-copied.

        Returns:
            A copy of the model with included, excluded and updated fields as specified.
