Ran into a case in a test on qri where we needed to deep copy a dataset. We are relying on github.com/jinzhu/copier for this functionality, and it's working fine.
While working on the problem, I assumed that dataset.Assign() would create new copies of the dataset for me, in the same way that Assign works in javascript. This however, wasn't the case. Changing a field in an underlying component (such as ds.Structure.Format) would change the field in both datasets.
