   > Can you solve your issue by adding a std::unique_ptr<KernelState> Clone() 
function to the kernels that lend themselves well to this optimization (i.e. 
kernels that have a compact state)?
   
   I think this is effectively the non destructive finalize method (by calling 
clone() + finalize). However, we still need a way to know when calling clone is 
needed:
   
   (1) If finalize is destructive, then the caller needs to call clone first if 
he wanted to reuse the kernel 
   (2) If finalize is not destructive, then the caller don't need to call clone.
   
   So I still think we need a (1) general way to knowing if a Kernel has 
destructive finalize and (2) if a Kernel has a destructive finalize, support an 
optional "clone" method.
   
   Which feels to me to be the same thing as adding an optional "non 
destructive finalize"?
