```
 abstract Memoable copy()
```
    Produce a copy of this object with its configuration and in its current state.

 abstract void reset(Memoable other)
```
    Restore a copied object state into this object.
    Implementations of this method should try to avoid or minimise memory allocation to perform the reset.
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - an object originally copied from an object of the same type as this instance.
