say we have a tree like below. Note that all nodes are NOT clones unless

Node A
 + Node A1
 + Node A2
 + Node A3
Node B
 + Node A1 (a clone)
 + Node B2
   + Node A3 (a clone)

Node B (but this is a copy, not a clone)

there are many use cases for this. I use it for templating-like tasks. But
at the moment it's really clunky to achieve, as I have to use Paste-node
then reinstate the clones. I often miss some and then chaos ensues.

Thanks for this excellent clarification. This should be doable with a a new
command, say, paste-retaining-only-clones. I have just created #1593
<https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1593> for this.
