 * Hi,
 * I regularly get complains from my users that [my plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/weight-based-shipping-for-woocommerce/)
   is not compatible with PHP 7 since they see the error in the subject.
 * However, this is just incorrect. ‘Clone’ can be used as a function and nothing
   wrong with that.
 * Is it planned to fix some day?
