Symfony Polyfill / DeepClone
============================
This package provides a pure-PHP implementation of the functions and exception
classes from the [deepclone extension](https://github.com/symfony/php-ext-deepclone):
- `deepclone_to_array(mixed $value, ?array $allowed_classes = null, bool $allow_named_closures = false): array`
— converts any serializable PHP value graph into a pure array (only scalars
and nested arrays, no objects).
- `deepclone_from_array(array $data, ?array $allowed_classes = null, bool $allow_named_closures = false): mixed`
— rebuilds the value graph from the array, preserving object identity,
references, cycles, and private property state.
- `DeepClone\NotInstantiableException` and `DeepClone\ClassNotFoundException`
When the native `deepclone` extension is loaded, this polyfill does nothing —
the extension provides the same functions 4–5× faster.
The array representation preserves PHP's copy-on-write for strings and scalar
arrays, making repeated cloning of a prototype significantly more memory
efficient than `unserialize(serialize())`. It also serves as a cache-friendly
serialization format: when dumped via `var_export()` into a `.php` file,
OPcache maps the array into shared memory, making deserialization essentially
free.
This is the same wire format used by Symfony's `VarExporter\DeepCloner`.

[main Polyfill README](https://github.com/symfony/polyfill/blob/main/README.md).
