In the current version from the cvs, mutableCopy is only implemented

GNUstep copying of container classes like NSArray follows the same rules
as MacOS-X ... for compatibility.
A mutable copy is *not* supposed to be a deep copy, rather
it's suppose supposed to produce a new container which can be modified
without affecting he original container - note, it's a copy of the
container, not its contents.
