Also note that you can use various different Cu(I) salts, as well as Grignard reagents

Does this statement mean that Grignard reagents can also be used in the formation of organocuprates? Does the magnesium participate as the cation in this particular case? If so, what would the handling requirements be for a Grignard reagent-derived organocuprate?
