these Clone methods are shallow anyway.
Ah, I see your point. In this case, cloning the referencer or the referenced makes little difference.
Do you think this level of detail should be in the javadoc ?
A little note about this wouldn't hurt, as this is subtle stuff, although in practice it should never come into play, so don't waste time on it. Thanks for all your answers.
