New operator

New operator creates and returns new instance of class. Identifier after new keyword must refer into class. New instance of class is created and constructor called.

Although ``new´´ can be dropped from expression without affecting its result (the same either way) it is quite different expression: Without ``new´´ expression is call emulation to anvil.runtime.Type pointing to class, which happens to work so that when called, new instance is created and constructor called. ``newInstance()´´ method can also be called on type to get the same results.

Named parameters and splices (@) are used with a same way as in calls.

There is a special closure call which will take only one parameter, an inline function, which is placed instead of parameter list. No other parameters are possible with closure call.

  new-expr := "new" identifierclass "(" parameters ")" 
  new-expr := "new" identifierclass  inline-functionparameter   
  param := [ symbolname "=" | "@" ] expr 
  parameters := param ( "," param )*
