From the peanut gallery: I think that if such a thing as shallow vs. deep
copies exists (which it does, iiuc), then, at the very least it should be
mentioned in the copy semantics topic, ideally with a pointer to a place that
provides a good explanation. (It is presumably a pitfall, so there should be
a warning...)
