"This modifies the original objects…" – I feel like this is obvious
now, but maybe it wasn't so obvious when this code was structured
differently before a2431fe006. Also,
it refers to a variable that doesn't exist.
"FIXME this will clone the reply…" – No, actually, it will not.
It would if replies were associative arrays, but they are objects,
and have always been, ever since the PHP parser was merged in
7b7a2cd69c. Maybe they were arrays
once in Roan's mind before he pushed that for review.
