Implementation of a CloneBuilder Class
--------------------------------------

                 Key: LANG-354
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-354
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Dave Meikle
            Priority: Minor


As discussed on the Mailing List an implementation of a CloneBuilder class to 
simplify creating basic clone methods like the other builders in Lang. Example 
usage would be as follows:

 public Object clone() {
     return CloneBuilder.reflectionClone(this);
 }

or

 public Object clone() {
     return new CloneBuilder(this)
         .append("field1")         // note the 'field by name' usage
         .append("field2")         // rather than 'field by value'
         ...
         .append("fieldn")
         .toClone();
 }
