If you didn't just do so, I will :)

Looking at your jsfiddle, here's a way to turn that into something useful.

+Object.prototype.clone = Object.prototype.clone || function() {
- function clone(x) {
    return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
        window.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
            resolve(e.data);
        });
+        window.postMessage(this, "*");
-        window.postMessage(x, "*");
    });
}

But are we are in the wrong place to have that discussion?
