Assign to this sample the value of the specified `rhs` sample and return a reference to this modifiable sample. Note that copying the `MetricSampleGroup` objects contained in `rhs` copies only the pointers to their respective `MetricRecord` arrays, and does not copy records themselves; hence, these record arrays must remain valid for the productive lifetimes of all copied objects or until records are removed by calling `removeAllRecords`.
