Idea: data deduplication into nodes

[Matt Wilkie]

I ran into something today that may be a bug, clones forgetting they are clones (ref), which got me thinking about how to re-make clones without starting over, which got me thinking about file system deduplication, which prompted the thought: what if Leo could scan a corpus of text and automatically make clones of all matching blocks larger than X? (where X is num characters, lines, paragraphs, files or any other chunking mechanism).

Interesting thought.  It would never have occurred to me ;-)
