# TODO(robinson): We probably need to provide deep-copy methods for
# descriptor types.  When a FieldDescriptor is passed into
# Descriptor.__init__(), we should make a deep copy and then set
# containing_type on it.  Alternatively, we could just get
# rid of containing_type (iit's not needed for reflection.py, at least).

# TODO(robinson): Print method?

# TODO(robinson): Useful __repr__?
