[issue29897] itertools.chain behaves strangly when copied with copy.copy

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

Kristján Valur Jónsson added the comment:

It is a tricky issue. How deep do you go?what if you are chaining several
of the itertools? Seems like we're entering a semantic sinkhole here.

Deepcopy would be too deep...
The original copy support in these objects stems from the desire to support
pickling.
