Clone Handle Object - using MATLAB OOP

How to clone an object (deep copy) which inherits reference behaviour from the 'handle' class.

The motivation for this demo is that if you have an instance (say 'a') of a custom class that subclasses 'handle', then the command 'b = a;' will produce another reference 'b' to the same object as initially referenced by 'a', effectively creating a 'shallow' copy of the object.
The link to this demo contains a test class which contains the code necessary to produce a clone or 'deep' copy of its instance by way of a method and alternatively, through its constructor.

A test script is provided to demonstrate the cloning of instances of the test class.
