It is truly unfortunate that cloning will not be in OO 3.0, especially since
it is now available in Hog Bay and, through agents, in Tinderbox, and is
probably on the way in other products.

I know you get requests for features all the time and only so many can get
through the door at any given time, but cloning and folding are both very
important to those of us who work in outlines a lot and I know that I'm not
alone in hoping that at least the former will work its way into one of the
3.x releases.

Thanks for listening.
