I have made clones of objects often in tests via deserialization + reserialization, but never in serious code. So I'm hesitant. We could try to make the serial clone + addSuppressed, and fall back to the original exception in case of failure. This might work well in practice. We might also discover lots of latent serialization bugs in exceptions. Has decades of RMI caught most of the problems with this approach? Can we have a serialization expert bless this?
