Cloning layers

[jbrennan]

I’d love to be able to say let myClone = someLayer.clone() to have another layer identical to the original.

I think the new layer should clone:

• the size and position
• the border and corner radius
• the background colour and image
• the parent layer
• any sublayers
• gesture / touch handlers?

This would be really sweet. Yet another example of something which is challenging with retained-mode identity semantics. This would be so easy with a system like React or Processing or DisplayScript! :(
