__new() - Object Constructor Function
This section describes what is object constructor function.
Object constructor function, __new(), is a special class function automatically created by the H system when a $class statement is executed. You should never create your own version of __new() function to override the system created version.
The syntax to call the constructor function is:
class_name.__new();
But a shorthand version is supported:
class_name(); # shorthand version of the following class_name.__new();
Examples of calling object constructor functions:
# an empty class
$class dummy: {};
b = dummy.__new(); # creates a "dummy" object
d = dummy(); # creates a "dummy" object
