A serious problem is the meaning of copy. More precisely, we don't
have a consensus to what an object is,i.e. the state of an object. For
example, the behavior of an IO object in the future is undecidable, so
a hash including an IO is undecidable too. Because such binding is
dynamically changing in languages like Ruby, we have to understand the
state of an object more clearly. This is, unfortunately, known as a
difficult mathematical problem. Some solutions have been proposed but
a clincher has not came yet.
