I am implementing copy/paste for my model. I wanted to follow the same
solution as the delete action does: ask selected parts for their copy
command. It seems that the clone request was designed for that purpose
(delete action uses group request). Strangely, it is a change bounds
request. I do not quite follow the logic. When I do copy I am not (yet)
changing anybody's bounds. This will happen later, on paste. So what is
the reason behind this design?
On a side note, is there any example of copy/paste implementation, other
than copy/paste template actions?

Clone request is for CTRL+dragging an object. It copies the object, not to
the clipboard, but directly back to the diagram itself. Not sure why we
called it cloning, but it is not the same as Cut/Copy/Paste. Because you
are dragging the cloned object to a new location, it is changebounds
