-----------------------------------

    Assignee: Brian Stansberry


As part of another issue I want to implement the equivalent of the subsystem "describe" op for all the core resources.

The "describe" op requires the subsystem to take its current config model and output a list of operations that would reconstruct that state. It's used for launching new servers.

If the core model supported the same semantic, then a list of ops could be requested for any part of the model.

With that in hand, it's a simple matter to take the addresses in the relevant ops and mutate them to point to a different part of the tree. Voila, a set of ops to clone a part of the tree into a different branch.

> Allow the possibility to read part of the configuration via management API, modify it and add it back under a new id, without knowing the specific details of the resource.
> This would allow for example adding a new server group configured exactly as an existing, creating a new resource (datasource, etc.) based on an existing one or even creating a profile based on a given one.
