`Object.clone()` returning function

[bobrippling]

Could I be using it wrong? I'd like to have a deep copy of an object, which might contain further objects or arrays

>c = Object.clone({ a: 1 })
=function () { [native code] }
>c.a
=undefined

Ahh - yes, sorry - it's meant to be called on the Object itself (although I admit your usage makes more sense!). I'll update the documentation with an example. However is it not a deep copy I'm afraid:

a = { d : [1,2,3] };
b = (a).clone()
>b
={ d: [ 1, 2, 3 ] }

For that you're probably back to JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(x)) which is pretty nasty.

As far as I can tell the function is basically the same as Object.assign({}, obj) - I'm actually kind of tempted to remove it completely. I think in the very early days before we had Object.assign it was useful, but now it's really not.

Ahhh doh, yes that was rather silly of me. That's great, thank you
