Well, you actually want

          my $newsew = $oldseq->clone();

Support for cloning has been dropped at the time of migrating from a
heavy-weight root object to a light-weight one, figuring that there is
little if any need for cloning.

So, yes, cloning you have to code yourself. Is there a specific reason
you need that?

Right.
