[ruby-core:29029] Re: [Bug #3016] Enumerable#slice_before and dup

> It's a minor issue, but would it not be best to call dup on the argument? Most special needs for #dup can be addressed by initialize_dup, but maybe there are some reasonable cases where some user classes will redefine #dup?

I guess the initialize_dup mechanism has some advantage because Ruby uses it
instead of redefining dup method.

I'm not certain that it is good to make it possible to avoid initialize_dup.

Anyone know the exact advantage of initialize_dup?
