Opps. Every Stepper must implement the copy message. Remember
Steppers are supposed to be treated like variables. Thus we should
almost never pass a pointer to a Stepper around (xLint??). Instead,
pass a pointer to a copy. MarkM observed that this let's us program
with promiscuous side-effects while maintaining a side-effect free
semantics!
