: As a general rule, I think it is better not to specify in such detail, and let the example authors document their examples as they see fit. (Or perhaps for this case, “Explain how the deep copy works, such as by showing its source.” — make it into another point-that-must-be-covered.) —[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 14:10, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
