Proposal to rename "new" keyword to "clone"

[Tim Caswell]

I propose we rename the "new" keyword to "clone" since that's what it really does and "new" may be confusing to people who use it in other languages.  Any comments/concerns?

I think this is a good idea, JavaScript made the mistake of using "new" when its ambigious.
