Even if it did, in vout_snapshot_Set(), the picture has no offsets, they
are provided in a separate video_format_t parameter.

I am not sure that "clone" implies shallow copy. IMO, it depends.

For instance, in C++, a "clone()" method usually calls the *copy*
constructor (it is just provided for polymorphism), which may deep- or
shallow-copy.

In Rust, the Clone trait is typically used to deep-copy an object.

I think that *clone* suggests that the copy is returned (contrary to
*copy*).

What name do you suggest instead?
