…ted to #33 I overrided the method copy inside FeatureModelVariableWithSynchronizedFormula.java to really create a new FeatureModelVariableWithSynchronizedFormula object instead of other kind of FMV. I created a really small unit test to check if the counting works well for configuration variable instead of FM

I think this error is related to the #26 issue related to the internal and synctactic description of FMs.
If I have a really complex FM created in merging many ones (around 80 FMs merged) I had some problems trying to serialize them to keep their textual representation. Mathieu explains me why because the internal representation cannot be easily serialized.
Then I compute the merge each time I need to use my complex FM which is very time consuming (cf issue #31). To avoid waiting too much, I decided to make copies of this complex FM and work on these, using the syntax "newFM = copy complexFM".
But apparently I have the same problems I had with the serialization of FMs : the copy seems not to be a clone of the previous FM.
Then is it possible either to change the way "copy" works to make proper clones ? Or to add another keyword maybe "clone" to make real clones instead of copy based on an incomplete serialization?
I'll try to formalize the scenario with a unit test as soon as I'll be able to build the project.
