[Vm-dev] #clone vs. #shallowCopy

Hi:

In Pharo there is no #clone anymore and in Squeak 4.5 #shallowCopy seems to be equivalent to #clone in its implementation.

There are a few uses of #clone in the VMMaker, and SmartSyntaxPluginCodeGenerator knows about it as well.

Would it be ok to migrate to #shallowCopy?

Best regards
Stefan
