Maybe something like "Returns a copy of the array of object references." ? I'm really NOT expert of this topic! I understand that result as shallow copy, as the way that wikipedia describe it ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_copy ). ...with very high risk of misinterpret... I'm very satisfied to have some kind of beginner warning to documentation.
