It's pretty hard to decide how these behave, specifically with custom
classes. Focusing on Object.clone...

- with classes do you call the constructor, and with what arguments?
- HTMLElement and sub classes can't be constructed directly, what happens
with them?
- do you copy internal properties? this would make it hard to polyfill
- how does it behave with getters and setters?
- with regular expressions do you copy the lastIndex?

Most of those apply to Object.equals also.
