Description:
------------
If I have an object that has references to different other objects and even a few 
collections [arrays] of some even other objects; and I want to make a copy of that 
instance ?? Must I clone the entire instance structure and performing a clone on 
every other referenced object and the collections ?? If yes ... What a shit !!!

The _clone call should be aware of the other referenced objects inside an object, 
and do the clone as well. After all, why am I doing a clone, don't you think ??
