Hi,

is it at all possible to copy AnyPointers between messages in the Java implementation of Capnproto?

The following code doesn't work, because AnyPointer.Factory does not implement SetPointerBuilder...

AnyPointer.Reader foo;

AnyPointer.Builder bar;

bar.setAs(AnyPointer.factory, foo);

The reason I think I need this facility is to implement tail calls in the RPC framework - I'm stuck on trying to copy the results sent by the tail callee into the response of the caller.

That turned out to be an easy fix, so I've created a pull request...
