[DGD] another question about clones

The traditional method is a linked list. Each clone keeps a pointer to 
its next (and perhaps its previous) clone. The downside of that solution 
is that you can't acquire the pointers without swapping the objects in. 
With the recent addition of call_touch(), this has become especially 
important. On the other hand, you probably don't want object manager 
that keeps track of every clone of every master object.

My suggestion is that you let the master copy of the object keep track 
of all its clones, possibly using a mapping of mappings.
