41   * Up until Magnolia 5.4, we were using {@link Cloner} directly. To avoid duplicating configuration code everywhere,
42   * we're introducing this wrapper which pre-configures it to work nicely with our definition objects.
43   *
44   * Specifically, it prevents cloning {@link Context}.
45   *
46   * Note: Initially we wanted to avoid cloning all proxy {@link net.sf.cglib.proxy.Callback} fields of definitions, which we
47   * use extensively in the i18n mechanism. But that leads to the cloned object to still delegate method calls to the original
48   * due to proxy specifics.
