What about this feature in Object under name "copy" or "dup"? Sure, it's
not to be used evereday; but it's typcally the kind of routine that,
when needed, we're very happy to find. And as shown by this thread the
solution is clearly non-obvious (lol).
By the way, why "dup" in D, instead of most common "copy" or "clone"? Is
it also a legacy name? (Don't tell me we got this one from stack-based
languages like Forth ;-) Anyway the semantics are totally different (*)).
