Optionally `COPY` accepts a flag `--from=<name|index>` that can be used to set
the source location to a previous build stage (created with `FROM .. AS <name>`)
that will be used instead of a build context sent by the user. The flag also
accepts a numeric index assigned for all previous build stages started with
`FROM` command. In case a build stage with a specified name can't be found an
image with the same name is attempted to be used instead.
