On the get() method, the returned value isn't owned by the caller, and
will exist as long as the internal value owned by the object isn't
removed. You can only guarantee that on single-threaded programs.

On the dup() method, the returned value is owned by the caller (e.g.
the caller gets a whole copy of the value), so it's safe in a
multi-threaded application.

That said, it probably doesn't makes sense to have both introspected,
we can probably just (skip) the _get() one and leave only _dup().
