    You cannot a put value back in the ```GenericRow``` when you have taken it 
out, unless it is a mutable object. Could you provide an example for this? 
Which is also a good basis for a unit test.
    
    ```copy``` is merely a contract all rows need to adhere to. If a row is 
inmutable, why copy it? It also avoids a lot object allocations. I think 
```GenericInternalRow``` should also return reference to it self on ```copy```.
