Since this phrase seems to be causing an argument, can you explain what
you mean by "identical clone"?

Personally, I would not use that term to refer to something that is
intended as a drop-in replacement for something else, only for something
that is identical to something else.  clang is not an "identical clone"
of gcc.  A second copy of gcc would be an "identical clone" of gcc.

Can you at least understand that most people would not use the phrase
the way you did?
