The name `copy` matches my intuition for the behavior described, as
informed by the shell command `cp source target` and other precedents. I
would expect `clone` to return a deep copy, as in `Object.clone(object,
depth=Infinity, memo=Map())`, informed by the Java precedent, and I would
not be perturbed by `copy` and `clone` coexisting as such.
