Description:
------------
IteratorIterator and derived classes like FilterIterator, RegexIterator etc. are not cloneable, because the implementation for spl_dual_it.clone_obj is missing.

This is issue, especially because Iterator is clonable, IteratorIterator is derived from Iterator and is not clonable, thereby violating the liskov substitution principle.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$arrayIterator = new ArrayIterator(array(1,2,3));
$it1 = new IteratorIterator($arrayIterator);
$it2 = clone $it1;

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error:  Trying to clone an uncloneable object of class IteratorIterator

Iterator is an interface which doesn't make any requirements towards cloneability. Adding clone support for IteratorIterator isn't easy as we can't guarantee state always.

@Johannes: There is a PR pending for this one, which looks right to me. Can you read it / elaborate about your previous comment ?

Sorry I missed to see that Iterator is just an interface.

Anyway, my PR implements/improves/fixes this functionality, Is there any chance to get it merged?

Since IteratorIterator is a base class, it does not violate the
LSP, so I'm changing to feature request.
