Okay genius, you've cleverly called it dup, yet it returns 2*x for numbers. As numbers appear to be the primary target for this method, wouldn't you expect consistent effects for other types? Oh wait, no, it'll concatenate a string onto itself. And lists? I'd have wanted a listy version of the numbers one, where it doubles each member, but no, you just get a list that's twice as long.
Dynamic typing is inconsistent garbage. Also:
