I like 'copy', and the idea that it always consistently creates a copy

distinction between 'copy' and 'clone'. Saying "clone creates a new PMC"
is clear enough. I'll put in a todo ticket.
What do you get if you 'copy' an object?
copy $P1, $P2
This creates a PMC that reuses the PMC header of $P1, morphing it to be
the same type of object as $P2 (an instance of the same class), and
copying the data from $P2 to $P1.
