/**
* A class implements the <code>Cloneable</code> interface to
* indicate to the {@link java.lang.Object#clone()} method that it
* is legal for that method to make a
* field-for-field copy of instances of that class.
* <p>
* Invoking Object's clone method on an instance that does not implement the
* <code>Cloneable</code> interface results in the exception
* <code>CloneNotSupportedException</code> being thrown.
* <p>
* By convention, classes that implement this interface should override
* <tt>Object.clone</tt> (which is protected) with a public method.
* See {@link java.lang.Object#clone()} for details on overriding this
* method.
* <p>
* Note that this interface does <i>not</t> contain the <tt>clone</tt> method.
* Therefore, it is not possible to clone an object merely by virtue of the
* fact that it implements this interface. Even if the clone method is invoked
* reflectively, there is no guarantee that it will succeed.
