(clone arg)
  arg: any type
  returns any type
F

Returns a shallow copy of its argument.

If arg is an array, string or table, this function allocates a new, mutable collection, copies over the original collection's contents, and returns the new collection.

If arg is an iterator, this function allocates a new iterator, copying just enough data so that (iter-next! new-iter) does not mutate the original iterator.

If arg is an object or RData with an op-clone method, this function invokes that method and returns the result.

For other primitive types, the function simply returns arg.
