Paul Benedict commented on LANG-446:
------------------------------------

Because clone() is part of Java's standard object methods, it should belong in 
ObjectUtils too, if not anymore than to delegate to a known CloneUtils method. 
No checked exceptions please and allow null-safety.

> Add null-safe ObjectUtils.clone()
