    See ICloneWithContext.clone(CopyContext) for more information about how to implement this constructor
    in a derived class.
existingInstance - The existing instance to copy.context - A CopyContext that controls the depth of the copy.ArgumentNullException - Thrown when existingInstance or context is null.public abstract Object clone(CopyContext context)
    This method should be implemented to call a copy constructor on the class of the
    object being cloned.  The copy constructor should take the CopyContext as a parameter
    in addition to the existing instance to copy.  The copy constructor should first call
    CopyContext.addObjectMapping(T, T) to identify the newly constructed instance
    as a copy of the existing instance.  It should then copy all fields, using
    CopyContext.updateReference(T) to copy any reference fields.
    
    A typical implementation of ICloneWithContext:
    
public static class MyClass implements ICloneWithContext {
    public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
        context.addObjectMapping(existingInstance, this);
        someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    }
    @Override
    public final Object clone(CopyContext context) {
        return new MyClass(this, context);
    }
    private Object someReference;
}
    
    In general, all fields that are reference types should be copied with a call to
    CopyContext.updateReference(T).  There are a couple of exceptions:
    
    If one of these exceptions applies, the CopyContext should be given an opportunity
    to update the reference before the reference is copied explicitly.  Use
    CopyContext.updateReference(T) to update the reference.  If CopyContext.updateReference(T) returns
    the original object, indicating that the context does not have a replacement registered,
    then copy the object manually by invoking a Clone method, a copy constructor, or by manually
    constructing a new instance and copying the values.
    
alwaysCopy = context.updateReference(existingInstance.alwaysCopy);
if (existingInstance.alwaysCopy != null && alwaysCopy == existingInstance.alwaysCopy) {
    alwaysCopy = (AlwaysCopy) existingInstance.alwaysCopy.clone(context);
}
    
    If you are implementing an evaluator (a class that implements IEvaluator), the
    IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) method shares some responsibilities with the
    copy context constructor. Code duplication can be avoided by doing the following:
    
CopyContext.updateReference(T).  You should still call CopyContext.updateReference(T) on any references to
    non-evaluators.
    IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as the last line in the constructor and pass it the
    same CopyContext passed to the constructor.
    IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as normal.  See the reference documentation for
    IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) for more information on implementing that method.
    public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
    super(existingInstance, context);
    someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    evaluatorReference = existingInstance.evaluatorReference;
    updateEvaluatorReferences(context);
}
@Override
public void updateEvaluatorReferences(CopyContext context) {
    evaluatorReference = context.updateReference(evaluatorReference);
}
@Override
public Object clone(CopyContext context) {
    return new MyClass(this, context);

disposing - true to release both managed and unmanaged resources;
    false to release only unmanaged resources.public abstract boolean getIsThreadSafe()
    If this property is true, all methods and properties are guaranteed to be thread safe.
    Conceptually, an object that returns true for this method acts as if there is a lock
    protecting each method and property such that only one thread at a time can be inside any method or
    property in the class.  In reality, such locks are generally not used and are in fact discouraged.  However,
    the user must not experience any exceptions or inconsistent behavior that would not be experienced if such
    locks were used.
    
    If this property is false, the behavior when using this class from multiple threads
    simultaneously is undefined and may include inconsistent results and exceptions.  Clients wishing to use
    multiple threads should call CopyForAnotherThread.copy(T) to get a separate instance of the
    object for each thread.
