Subject: Feature request: clone() function
From: cschneid@cschneid.com (Christian Schneider)

I'd like to see a clone() (or whatever name you want) function which 
should exist in both PHP4 and PHP5 and allows to clone objects in a 
compatible way.

Currently I'm using

function &clone(&$object)
{
         return (is_object($object) && version_compare(zend_version(), 
'2.0.0-dev', '<')) ? $object : $object->__clone();
}

but I think this should be provided by PHP itself to easy migration.

As always I'd be willing to provide an implementation if wanted ;-)
