 * Can you add the ability to copy (extend) from existing Gutenberg blocks?
 * It would be useful for 2 reasons, I can think of:
    - As a learning aid, to follow (and amend) an existing block example
    - For rapid ‘fixes’ to existing blocks where something just does not work for
      that situation
 * Thanks.

 * Hi Jonmojo,
 * This isn’t currently possible, nor is it really very possible just with the way
   things are setup technically.
 * That said, we love the idea of:
    a) Creating more documentation with examples
   on how to create block templates, and b) Creating more “starter” blocks, including
   templates, to help you find your feet
 * So, look out this soon!
