      T copy()
      Copy the object, creating a new instance with the same values. This is NOT a deep or a perfect copy, it is instead a "serviceable" copy. It allows to create a new instance that has NO references to the previous one, so it can run on a different thread or be modified without affecting the original object. If the object it returns is incomplete for your purposes, you should override this method and complete it or expand the implementation.
      Returns:
      a new instance of the object with the same values.
