+/**
+ *  A deep clone utility that provides similar object-graph-preserving
+ *  qualities to typical serialization schemes.  An internal registry
+ *  of cloned objects is kept to be used by other objects in the deep
+ *  clone process that implement JmeCloneable.
+ *
+ *  <p>By default, objects that do not implement JmeCloneable will
+ *  be treated like normal Java Cloneable objects.  If the object does
+ *  not implement the JmeCloneable or the regular JDK Cloneable interfaces
+ *  AND has no special handling defined then an IllegalArgumentException 
+ *  will be thrown.</p>
+ *
+ *  <p>Enhanced object cloning is done in a two step process.  First,
+ *  the object is cloned using the normal Java clone() method and stored
+ *  in the clone registry.  After that, if it implements JmeCloneable then
+ *  its cloneFields() method is called to deep clone any of the fields.
+ *  This two step process has a few benefits.  First, it means that objects
+ *  can easily have a regular shallow clone implementation just like any
+ *  normal Java objects.  Second, the deep cloning of fields happens after
+ *  creation wich means that the clone is available to future field cloning
+ *  to resolve circular references.</p> 
+ *
+ *  <p>Similar to Java serialization, the handling of specific object
+ *  types can be customized.  This allows certain objects to be cloned gracefully
+ *  even if they aren't normally Cloneable.  This can also be used as a
+ *  sort of filter to keep certain types of objects from being cloned.
+ *  (For example, adding the IdentityCloneFunction for Mesh.class would cause
+ *  all mesh instances to be shared with the original object graph.)</p>
+ *
+ *  <p>By default, the Cloner registers serveral default clone functions
+ *  as follows:</p>
+ *  <ul>
+ *  <li>java.util.ArrayList: ListCloneFunction
+ *  <li>java.util.LinkedList: ListCloneFunction
+ *  <li>java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList: ListCloneFunction
+ *  <li>java.util.Vector: ListCloneFunction
+ *  <li>java.util.Stack: ListCloneFunction
+ *  <li>com.jme3.util.SafeArrayList: ListCloneFunction
+ *  </ul>
+ *
+ *  <p>Usage:</p>
+ *  <pre>
+ *  // Example 1: using an instantiated, reusable cloner.
+ *  Cloner cloner = new Cloner();
+ *  Foo fooClone = cloner.clone(foo);
+ *  cloner.clearIndex(); // prepare it for reuse
+ *  Foo fooClone2 = cloner.clone(foo);
+ * 
+ *  // Example 2: using the utility method that self-instantiates a temporary cloner.
