I've been wanting to implement a fork-like feature for places where a new place is created as a clone of its parent.
A deep namespace-copy could be useful in that scenario.

source namespace.
I think you're right that there's currently no way to duplicate a
namespace. Maybe we could add additional reflective operations, but
it's easy to add too much in this space.

Can you say more about how duplicating a namespace would be useful?
