+With `cxListClone()` you can create deep copies of the elements in a list and insert them into another list.
+The destination list does not need to be empty, in which case the elements will be appended.
+Depending on the concrete list implementation, `cxListClone()` tries to allocate enough memory up-front, before trying
+to insert anything.
+
+Refer to the documentation of the [clone-function callback](allocator.h.md#clone-function) to learn how to implement it.
+
+The function returns the number of elements successfully cloned.
+If an allocation error occurs, this might be smaller than the size of the source list.
+
+> It is perfectly possible to clone items into a list of a different type.
+> For example, you can clone elements from a list that is just storing pointers (`CX_STORE_POINTERS`) to a list that
+> allocates the memory for the objects (and vice versa).
