Why can't std::process::Command implement Clone?

It wouldn't be able to clone certain types of data like pre_exec closures.

If so, would an inherent .clone() method that ignores the closure thing be a good idea?
I sometimes find myself wanting to copy and edit a preexisting Command.
Having a way to deduplicate adding the same arguments of a Command is nice.

The common approach I have seen is to just define a function creating the "base" command, then call it and chain on additional modifications for each usage.
