// Cloner is a tool to automate the creation of a Clone method.
//
// The result of the Clone method aliases no memory that can be edited
// with the original.
//
// This tool makes lots of implicit assumptions about the types you feed it.
// In particular, it can only write relatively "shallow" Clone methods.
// That is, if a type contains another named struct type, cloner assumes that
// named type will also have a Clone method.
