/**
 * Abstract Class Cloneable<T> can be extended to give the child class the ability to clone its self.
 * The child class must pass its class to super. You can then pass any needed arguments to help build
 * the cloned class to the protected _clone() method.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * class Example extends Cloneable<Example> {
 *
 * }
 * Todo: There must be more non primitive build in types to check. But for our current purposes, this works great.
