Hello,

I think the new Clone method in the LightObject is not a good idea, because it's results will be unexpected. Since in all but mostly the transform classes, this method only calls CreateAnother, and does not copy the data of the actual object the results are going to be unexpected. I think this will confuse many users when they look at the methods available for say the Image class, and they'll assume it does what it conventionally does. Additionally, there is not doxygen documentation to clarify what this misleading class does.

Brad
