> Frequently one runs into a need to create deep copies from Thrift data
> objects. Since the framework does not really offer support for such a
> function, it seems helpful to have the Thrift Comnpiler generate the code
> necessary to support this.
> Remarks:
> * Microsoft explicitly discourages developeres to use ICloneable for this as
> there is no reliable definition whether ICloneable creates shallow or deep
> copies, so we don't use it either.
> * Although there is no officially set standard, most common naming
> convention seems to be {{DeepCopy()}} for such a method, so we follow that
> model but leave room for future changes (i.e. different naming)
>
