@hvanhovell I found the semantics of the original
`GenericMutableRow.copy()` pretty dangerous since it didn't properly implement
deep copy semantics. In fact, it's impossible to do a proper deep copy there.
We only copy the underlying field array but may still share field objects
accidentally.
If we do want to "fix" `GenericInternalRow.copy()`, I'd prefer throwing an
exception instead of following the old `GenericMutableRow.copy()` method.
