// Clone returns a fresh copy of s.

// It guarantees to make a copy of s into a new allocation,

// which can be important when retaining only a small substring

// of a much larger string. Using Clone can help such programs

// use less memory. Of course, since using Clone makes a copy,

// overuse of Clone can make programs use more memory.

// Clone should typically be used only rarely, and only when

// profiling indicates that it is needed.

// For strings of length zero the string "" will be returned

// and no allocation is made.
