Would it make sense to introduce a ShallowClone trait with Clone as a subtrait? ShallowClone would be almost like a marker trait and it would provide the method shallow_clone which may call clone by default. If people see that both ShallowClone and Clone is implemented for a type, then they can infer that the type is cheaply cloneable #232
