The implementation could be `ValueObject::Clone`, followed by `ValueObject::SetSyntheticChildrenOverride`. That makes my example behave in a less confusing way to me for all cases:

```python
value = frame.FindVariable("something_with/without_synthetic")
value.IsSynthetic() # true/false

new_value = value.CloneWithTypeSynthetic(bar);
new_value.IsSynthetic() # true
new_value.GetTypeSynthetic() # bar
```

Regardless, your explanation about needing to be explicit on which VO (static, or synthetic) you wish to re-assign the SCP of also makes sense to me. 

If we go with that route then the only thing that needs fixing is that `ValueObjectSynthetic` will have to start respecting the outcome of `this->GetSyntheticChildren()` for it's frontend choice.

Which one should it be?
