Description
What is the current behavior?
Currently the only way to store a table is using save_as_table, which (as far as I know) performs a CTAS operation. Cloning a table is considerably faster than doing a select * from XX CTAS but it's currently impossible to do in snowpark.
What is the desired behavior?
A method for the Table class to clone himself to a new location.
