CLONE_PARENT in a container

What happens when a container-init calls clone() with the
CLONE_PARENT flag set ?

Since CLONE_PARENT can be used to create a sibling, I'd
think that this will create a sibling, in particular,  a
new task in the same container whose parent is the parent
of the container. From a quick look in the code I can't
see why this would be impossible.

Is this so ?  Is this the desired behavior ?

Oren.
