creates a new object from the Macro language
<pre>
<NAME> - The fully qualified class name (case sensitive)
<LABEL> - Results label to referencing the object
<TABLE> - Table of arguments to initialize the object via the setKey interface

This command creates a new object of type <NAME> and stores it in the results
table as <LABEL>. The table <TABLE> is optional - it will initialize the
objects by calling setKey on each element in the table.

Since NeXtMidas 2.1.0 it is possible to provide arguments to the constructor
(see examples). If no arguments are given (as in NeXtMidas 2.0.X and earlier)
the no-argument constructor will be used.

Since NeXtMidas 2.9.0 it is possible to create new arrays. Note that when
creating arrays of Object type Integer, Double, Float, etc, when passing in
values you must pass in the same type. For example, to set values in a
new Double[], you must use Double (object), not double (primitive type).

Examples:
1. Get the current time from a reference to the Time class library:
nM> new nxm.sys.lib.Time tref
nM> invoke tCurrent tref.current()
will give the current time just like
nM> timex NOW t

2. Create a new object using a constructor that takes in an argument:
nM> new java.lang.Integer(4) temp

3. Create an array an initialize it
nM> new int[] array {1,2,3}

4. Create a multi-dimensional array and set a value
nM> new java.lang.String[3][5] array
nM> res sub1 array(2) ! get the dimension array
nM> set sub1(4) "Hey, you! Get off of my cloud!"
