I am trying to code some JS so that I can make changes to a data structure
then commit them later. My idea was to copy a segment from the structure
for the dialog to edit, then reinsert the changes if the user clicks same.
But, the problem is that when I try to copy the section to a temporary
place, I'm copying pointers, not clones of the data.
So, I made it automatically reconstruct the data structure on the fly using
a bunch of new Array(), but as I copy the leaves over, again, I'm getting
pointers.
Is there a clone() method? If not, how can I make one?
Thanks in advance.
