Of course not; I don't personally know every programmer in the world. I
simply haven't seen it.

Well, I would imagine 1) the rcp protocol doesn't do it, so it wouldn't
really be "scp" anymore, and 2) it's easy to use other common Unix tools
over SSH to accomplish this (e.g. rsync as someone else has already
pointed out).
