Identity.Copy() doesn't copy anything other than a reference

[Xe]

func (i *Identity) Copy() *Identity {
    newIdent := &Identity{}

    *newIdent = *i

    return newIdent
}

I'm pretty sure this does actually copy it. i is dereferenced and copied. Both copy methods use this trick.

However, it's definitely not very clear how it works. I can look into changing that.

I'm going to close this for now, but feel free to reopen this if you can verify it's not actually copying.
