 +====== Clone ======
  
 +###
 +Clone(//a//) creates a copy of the object //a//.
 +
 +The statement $a=b$ for objects creates two variables pointing to the same object. Changing the value of one object changes the value of the other.
 +###
 +
 +===== Input =====
 +
 +  * //a// : object of any type
 +
 +===== Output =====
 +
 +  * //a'// : object of same type as //a// and an exact copy of it.
 +
 +===== Example a=b =====
 +
 +###
 +A small example showing the effect on //b// after changing //a// when //a=b//:
