Making copies of java objects has historically been troublesome (e.g.
Cloneable).  I have made clones of objects often in tests via
deserialization + reserialization, but never in serious code.  So I'm
hesitant.  We could try to make the serial clone + addSuppressed, and fall
back to the original exception in case of failure.  This might work well in
practice.  We might also discover lots of latent serialization bugs in
exceptions.  Has decades of RMI caught most of the problems with this
approach?  Can we have a serialization expert bless this?
