Though as David pointed out I don't think the cloning qualifies it for
#replace actually. I have a Facet method called #assign_from. Currently
it does no duplication, but you make me think that maybe it should. And
it can be made more robust to check for #clone, then #dup and if all
else fails maybe then go ahead and reference directly.

But what resources could leak?
