Simple answer: No.

Complicated answer: Yes, but you have to write it yourself.

Here's a nice starting point. You can use tupleof to get all members of 
a class. Note that this doesn't deal with superclasses, and members of 
superclasses are not copied:

T clone(T)(T old) {
	auto newobject = new T();
	foreach (int i, _; old.tupleof) {
		newobject.tupleof[i] = old.tupleof[i];
	}
	return newobject;
}

cloned = clone(yourobject);
