Description:
 def clone(self, **kwargs):
 """Create a modified version of |ASN.1| schema object. The `clone()` method accepts the same set arguments as |ASN.1| class takes on instantiation except that all arguments of the `clone()` method are optional. Whatever arguments are supplied, they are used to create a copy of `self` taking precedence over the ones used to instantiate `self`. Possible values of `self` are never copied over thus `clone()` can only create a new schema object. Returns ------- : new instance of |ASN.1| type/value Note ---- Due to the mutable nature of the |ASN.1| object, even if no arguments are supplied, new |ASN.1| object will always be created as a shallow copy of `self`.
