There are a wide range of tricky problems associated with deep copy and
deep compare. I like the idea, but circular references can make this
problematic even without external things (filehandles, dirhandles, objects
from non-perl sources) are thrown in. That needs to be taken into account
when putting together the RFC for it, if someone even does.
