This PR changes the
clone
method ofArray
,List
,HashMap
, andHashSet
to returniso^
.This is a more flexible return type, allowing the calling code to take advantage of the fact that the return value is indeed the only reference to the new object that exists so far. This is also more consistent the
clone
method signature forString
andFlags
, which already do this.
