I don't understand why you should have to do this, or how it would help. I
would expect the base class to copy its own internal data, particularly if
you did _not_ override this method with a custom implementation.
Furthermore, attributes such as the rotate pivot and rotate order are the
jurisdiction of the base class, not the derived class(es).

Secondly, how would one copy internal data from the base class? Internal
data is, well, internal, and typically implemented as private data members.
Objects derived from MPxNode have no access to - nor knowledge of - the
implementation of the base class's internal data. So how are they supposed
to copy it?
