NAME
new_object - create a new light-weight object
SYNOPSIS
object new_object(object master)
DESCRIPTION
Create a new light-weight instance of the specified object with a name
of the form "object_name#-1". If the master object is itself a light-
weight object, it will be copied. Light-weight objects cannot be
destructed and are automatically deallocated once the last reference
to them is removed.
The new object is returned. The creator function will be called in the
new object immediately.
