Deep clone a javascript object without underscore or lodash

It's ridiculously simple:

var clone = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj)); 

The only time this won't work is with objects with circular dependencies, which make JSON.stringify throw an error. Still, this is often a great solution in projects that require a deep clone but don't warrant packaging an entire library like lodash or underscore to do it.

This is a clever solution, however it doesn't copy keys with assigned functions as their values.
