[metacopy-devel] several paralell copy protocols

I agree that there is no one-size-fits-all (OSFA) solution but I  
don't understand why you need different protocols in the case you  
mention. If PO is a persistent-object, then why do

(copy-thing PO)

and

(copy-thing (list 1 2 3 PO))

need to treat PO differently?

thanks,
