Has anyone ever proposed exposing the structured clone algorithm directly as an API? Katelyn Gadd was musing about fast deep copy in JS on Twitter, and I proposed a hack to use postMessage to do so[1], which works but it's a little roundabout. Since structured clone is a primitive that the web platform is built on it seems like a primitive that ought to be exposed. I know this exists in other languages (Python has copy.deepcopy[2]) and there's an npm "deepcopy" module[3] with lots of downloads so this is clearly something people use.
