Term

Returns a fresh copy of this Term, that is, an instance of Term which is equal to the current one in any aspect, except variables directly or indirectly contained into this Term, which are refreshed. This means that it could return itself, if no variable is present (ground term), or a new Term with freshly generated variables.
Variables are refreshed consistently, meaning that, if more variables exists within this Term having the same name, all fresh copies of such variables will have the same complete name.
Example: "f(X, g(X))".freshCopy() returns something like "f(X_1, g(X_1))" instead of "f(X_1, g(X_2))"
Notice that, if the current term is ground, the same object may be returned as a result by this method.
