[PD] [clone]'s instance number

[Christof Ressi]

OTOH, the workaround is quite easy: put the existing abstraction into a new abstraction and forward the creation arguments accordingly :-). Maybe add such an example to [clone]'s help patch? Would illustrate the behaviour quite well, I think.

This could be used to achieve differentiation between the abstractions, ie. if the abstraction contains "tabread4~ $-1.array" and the $-1 is replaced with the instance number, then each instance could read a different file. Of course there are other ways of doing this, but it would be neat to do it with clone, and I'm wondering if there's a way.
