It appears that kjSets have a different way of copying:
s = kjSet([1, 2, 3, 4])
s2 = kjSet(s)
However, this seems a bit irregular --- you're right, it would be nice to
be able to call copy() on them. kjSets do support repr(), so you could
potentially use repr() to save an object, but that might be inconvenient.
I'll take a closer look at the source code and see if there's a better
workaround.
