public interface ObjectCopier
Provides an interface for a variety of means to copy an arbitrary
object. Any implementation of this interface must return an exact
copy of obj, preserving all aliasing across all objects reachable
from obj. ReflectiveCopyException must be thrown if the implementation
cannot copy obj for some reason. Note that a trivial implementation
of this interface is possible (always return obj), but this is often
not the desired implementation.
