Feature request: Create a clone of an object

[junkew]

Would be nice to could write

...
$oFoo2=$oFoo1.clone
...

Example
how it works at the moment (which in general is fine but would be nice to quickly clone) is that a var references another object where you sometimes want a copy/clone

#include <AutoItObject_Internal.au3>
$cFoo=IDispatch()
$oFoo1=$cFoo
$oFoo2=$cFoo

$oFoo1.Property1="Nice"

;~ And now the fun comes as they both point to same object

consolewrite($oFoo2.Property1)

Endgoal I would like to reach is that you have

;~ Have a generic method reference that is shared
$cFoo.Method1 = cFoo_Method1
func cFoo_Method1
;~ whatever we want to have shared as a method printing a property of the current object
ConsoleWrite($self.parent.Property1)
endfunc

$oFoo1=cFoo.clone
$oFoo2=cFoo.clone

;~ Have independent propertyvalues
$oFoo1.Property1="Hello world 1"
$oFoo2.Property1="Hello world 2"

$oFoo1.Method1
$oFoo2.Method1

Hi @junkew.
The clone feature is implemented via the method __assign.
This is done to enable multiple objects to be referenced, a feature i wanted so inheritance from more than one would be possible, to on a very basic level, mimic PHP class extension and traits.

see __assign

The following code shows you how it can be used.

#include <AutoItObject_Internal.au3>

$cFoo=IDispatch()

func cFoo_Method1($self)
;~ whatever we want to have shared as a method printing a property of the current object
ConsoleWrite($self.parent.Property1)
endfunc

$cFoo.Method1 = cFoo_Method1

$oFoo1=$cFoo

;~ Have independent propertyvalues
$oFoo1.Property1="Hello world 1"

$oFoo2=IDispatch()

$oFoo2.__assign($oFoo1)

$oFoo2.Property1="Hello world 2"

MsgBox(0, "", $oFoo1.Property1)
MsgBox(0, "", $oFoo2.Property1)

MsgBox(0, "", FuncName($oFoo1.Method1))
MsgBox(0, "", FuncName($oFoo2.Method1))
