        public Record cloneViaReserialise()
        Clone the current record, via a call to serialize it, and another to create a new record from the bytes. May only be used for classes which don't have internal counts / ids in them. For those which do, a full model-aware cloning is needed, which allocates new ids / counts as needed.
        Returns:
        the cloned current record
