[A user can duplicate a list, with the result of creating a new list with a
different name that contains clones of all of the items that were in the
original list.]

I'm confused.  Did I use a loaded term when I said "clone"?  What I meant by
the story was that of the "duplicate list" functionality that works as one
might expect:

List: Pet mouse care
Item: feed
Item: clean
Item: inoculate

User executes Duplicate command, enters new name "Pet rat care", result is
that the [Pet mouse care] list continues to exist exactly as before, and a
[Pet rat care] list is created with 3 items, each a copy of the complete
state of an item from the [Pet rat care] list.

I'm close to having this implemented -- it's an easy one.
