In my opinion being clonable is something very fundamental
and I don't like renaming it for the following reason:

Ofter the virtual constructor idiom also introduces a virtual
create() method in the Clonable interface. This is obviously
to restrictive. But we might need it as separate interface
which then also should reside in a separate file.
IMHO it's cleaner to have these interfaces together in one file.
