Why doesn't Object have an auto-defined .dup property? It would be useful when dealing with, for instance, handling of Throwable's in multi-threaded contexts.

I don't think it could. What if you have a child class with a delegate that points to one of its own methods?

You can define one yourself of course with overrides in child classes to update those kinds of things. But doing it automatically is tricky.

Yes, thanks. I was interested in the possibility of a single non-member function, though.
