> As discussed on the Mailing List an implementation of a CloneBuilder class to simplify creating basic clone methods like the other builders in Lang. Example usage would be as follows:
>  public Object clone() {
>      return CloneBuilder.reflectionClone(this);
>  }
> or
>  public Object clone() {
>      return new CloneBuilder(this)
>          .append("field1")         // note the 'field by name' usage
>          .append("field2")         // rather than 'field by value'
>          ...
>          .append("fieldn")
>          .toClone();
>  }
