Callers which are creating objects based on user input, or unknown/untrusted type names, must manually check the result of object_class_is_abstract() before calling object_new() to propagate an Error, instead of asserting. Introduce a object_new_dynamic() method which is a counterpart to object_new() that directly returns an Error, instead of asserting. This new method is to be used where the typename is specified dynamically by code separate from the immediate caller. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
