We discussed this for quite a while yesterday in #blenderpython and 
these are features which are in CVS new to 2.43.  They will replace 
Object.New() eventually since it is an error-prone way to create 
objects, and fixing it might break other scripts (but we're trying to 
find a backward compatible way to do that, anyway).

FWIW, the new method lets you create a new object with data and add to 
the current scene in one line:

scene.getCurrent().objects.new(Mesh.New())
