Re: Proposed RCR: Object#replace

Ruby
1 
     if o.respond_to? :clone
       instance_variable_set(name, o.clone)
     end
   end
 end

end

How does instance variable duplication qualify as the general
meaning of “replace”? It’s not even part of the existing
replace methods.

I didn’t actually want instance variable duplication. All I wanted was
the same bit of memory reused.
