Hey,

How to refer to any of the properties of the current instance? Let's say
this:

```
class Foo {
    protected int $code;
    protected string $message;
    public function withStatus($code, $message): Foo {
        return clone $this {
            $this->code =3D $code; // so far so good
            // Which $this->message is what?
            $this->message =3D "cloned: (" . $this->message . ")" . $messag=
e;
        }
    }
}
```

Similarity is not necessarily always good.
