Closes #4270.
This new method should be used in place of
copy.deepcopy()
. It can be overridden on certain fields to avoid making deep copies of certain attributes when deep copying is unnecessary or not possible.Note: I was lazy and haven't added tests yet, but I'll do so before merging if ya'll agree with this approach.
