Wanted to poke this thread; now that we're is BCon2.  I just woke up and 
realized some of this is in the Scene module now but I don't see epydocs 
for it.  Tom just assigned a nasty bug to me that would best be fixed by 
encouraging users to not use Object.New(), so it would be nice to 
document this (the scn.object.new() method) as the "recommended" methods 
if we're going to keep it.
