def config.CFG.clone	(		self,
			kwargs
	)

Make a copy of this object, redefining (or adding) some parameters, just
   like in the CMSSW python configuration files. 

   For example, you can do
      module1 = cfg.Analyzer(SomeClass, 
          param1 = value1, 
          param2 = value2, 
          param3 = value3, 
          ...)
      module2 = module1.clone(
         param2 = othervalue,
         newparam = newvalue)
   and module2 will inherit the configuration of module2 except for
   the value of param2, and for having an extra newparam of value newvalue
   (the latter may be useful if e.g. newparam were optional, and needed
   only when param2 == othervalue)

   Note that, just like in CMSSW, this is a shallow copy and not a deep copy,
   i.e. if in the example above value1 were to be an object, them module1 and
   module2 will share the same instance of value1, and not have two copies.
