Crate clone_fields

[Master docs]

Fields-wise types cloning. Nothing more, nothing less.

use clone_fields::CloneFields;

// PartialEq and Debug traits are only required for `assert` macros in the example.

    value: i32,

// S2 might be a *foreign* type, i.e. declared in a different crate.
struct External<'a, T: Clone> {
    field1: &'a i64,
    field2: T,
    nested: ExternalNested,
}

// This struct only exists for the sake of using `clone_fields` attribute with more than one
// type :)
