      T copy()
      Creates and returns a copy of this object. It is required that x.copy() is completely independent from x. This means any method invoked on x.copy() in no way alters the state of x and vice versa. It is typically the case that x.copy().getClass() == x.getClass() and x.copy().equals(x).
      Returns:
      the copy
