Indeed, it looks like a bug at least for pharo (where #clone was removed)
ExternalAddress >> shallowCopy
"Re-implemented to avoid superclass call to #new:"
^self clone
But now sure what to replace it with. The method #clone used to be just the
call to primitive 148, which is the same as shallowCopy. So I don't
understand why we need to reimplement shallowCopy in ExternalAddress.
"Re-implemented to avoid superclass call to #new:" since shallowCopy
is a primitive, it would only send a message (like #new:) only if the
primitive fails. So..I am lost.
