Okay last comment in this sub-thread because I have to get back to my job here, which hilariously is adding some boxing and possibly cloning in order to improve a codebase.

I feel like I'm going crazy. I feel like this:

> if I can mostly ignore fussy ownership and borrowing stuff and just clone everything, all the time, getting rid of clones exclusively in places that I profile and learn to be in the hot path, and the resulting code will be idiomatic Rust

is exactly what my last comment said. This whole chain, in my experience, is me saying "clone is not a moral issue" and you saying "why are you saying that people that use clone should feel bad." So I need to bow out. I wish I could figure out where this disconnect is, but it's clear that this thread is not achieving that.
