Bounded copy from

[pauxus]

Idea: two disjunct classes with a common ancestor

Only copy does fields that are present in both object (source and target). This could either happen automatically, or (better) by providing a class, interface or list of field-names to be used as filter:

• class: use all fields of the given class and its ancestor classes
• interface: use the fields declared by the getter methods in the given interface
• list: explicitly copy only the given field names
