They're virtual functions, which means that you can call clone() on a
node* (which will actually point to a dir_node or file_node), and get a
new dir_node or file_node as appropriate. Using a copy constructor
directly means that you have to know in advance what type you're trying
to get.
I should have been clearer. *Other than that*, is there any difference?
