Description

If some of the other feature issues are addressed, this may be straightforward to do as a client with a set and delete, but a copy/move (copy with delete of src) would be convenient for reshaping incoming fuzzy json generously into a schema that can parse naturally.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the AST tree structure in sonic's ast package and implement a recursive deep copy or move function that traverses all nodes, copying or moving values with deletion of the source for move.
