Maybe a bit offtopic, but I do not see the point having the clone() method in Object and a seperate interface making a call to clone "valid". Where is the advantage over letting Clonable have (is this correct english?) a method clone() (making this a non-marker interface) or is this for historical reasons? :) A better example for a marker interface would be appreciated.
