What about this feature in Object under name "copy" or "dup"? Sure, it's 
not to be used evereday; but it's typcally the kind of routine that, 
when needed, we're very happy to find. And as shown by this thread the 
solution is clearly non-obvious (lol).

By the way, why "dup" in D, instead of most common "copy" or "clone"? Is 
it also a legacy name? (Don't tell me we got this one from stack-based 
languages like Forth ;-) Anyway the semantics are totally different (*)).
