The generic function is cloning a slice so you need to allocate a new backing array. (think deep-copy)

Here that's just a one-liner that works.

I need to check but I think that if you need to keep the same capacity, you may want to preallocate manually.

I understand that, my point solely rest around defining the clone function from the slices package in the article, explaining why, yet the actual implementation is different. The source code I found via the docs doesn't consider capacity, it merely uses a empty construct and appends.

Ah you're right... It's rather a shallow copy.

Good point. I have no clue either.

Maybe you can open an issue?
