    List that can be freely used.
  - cloneCollectionMembersWithoutIds
```
@Experimental
@Contract("!null -> !null; null -> null")
public static <T> List<T> cloneCollectionMembersWithoutIds(Collection<T> collection)
```
    Returns:
    
    List that contains its members clones. For members that are Containerable the IDs are cleared. FIXME: BEWARE - UNFINISHED - does not clear IDs if members are PCVs; does it only for Containerables - should be named maybe "copyForReuse" and use complexClone with the strategy of REUSE for all prism data See Containerable.cloneWithoutId() and its TODOs.
