Idiom #298 Copy a map

Create the map y by cloning the map x.

y is a shallow copy, not a deep copy.

y = x.dup
var y = Map.of(x);
y := make(map[K]V, len(x))
for k, v := range x {
	y[k] = v
}
import "maps"
y := maps.Clone(x)
import java.util.Map;
Map<K, V> y = x;

type
  TMap = specialize TFPGMap<TKey, TData>;

var
  x, y: TMap;

begin
  x:= TMap.Create;
  ... 
  y:= TMap.Create;
  Map1.AddList(x);
end.

my %y = %x;
y = x.copy()
