[jdom-interest] Moving Children

[Frank Sauer]

Maybe I'm completely confused (it has been a long night)
but if you call :

	((Object)whatever).clone();

won't that result in a call to the actual overridden clone() in the
actual class of whatever?

You can always cast to Object.  But it'd do no good.  Object's clone()
isn't public.
