Copy Annotation

copyannotation, copy

Command

(copyannotation annotation variablename)

annotation (Annotation): Annotation to copy.
variablename (String): Variable name on which to store the copied annotation.

Creates an exact copy, but different in identity, of the given annotation, and stores it with in the console environment with the given variable name.

Setting to the variablename the actual annotation will not yield the same result, as that would only create two different variablenames for the same annotation, and not two equal annotations with different names, meaning modifying via one of the names would affect the annotation accessed by the other name, as they are the same.
