SuspendableDocumentNodeChildCloneToMemberAltT Method

Set a member variable that holds a child node of this instance. The child node may or may not implement IDocumentLeafNode. The value to set may or may not implement ICloneable. If it implements ICloneable, then the member variable is set to a clone of the value. Otherwise, the member variable is set directly with the value. It helps to ensure the correct order: first, the child node is set to the new instance and then the old child node is disposed.
