    public interface CloneSupported
extends java.lang.Cloneable
    Indicates that a class implements cloning.

    This interface is needed because of the deficiencies of the standard Java Object.clone() framework. This interface makes clone() public and guarantees that CloneNotSupportedException will not be thrown, method signature notwithstanding.
