This PR ensures that set config fields are cloned, when using
clone
.This behaviour can be reverted to current via a new config
clone_config
.Related: sktime/sktime#5676
An important question: is the current behaviour close enough to being a bug, or very unexpected, as to not require deprecation, because we treat this as a bugfix?
Or is it an unexpected change, which would require deprecation?
An example would be, (a) first configuring an estimator via
set_config
, e.g., parallelization, (b) then wrapping it in a composite. This procedure would turn off an configs in the internally cloned estimator.To me, this seems like a "bug" rather than "can be expected".
