This is used primarily for obtaining prototypes for manual 
manipulation (like from the browser's "hand me an instance").

As such, it tends to return a particular kind of instance intended for 
human rather than program consumption.

I'd always use a "new" method if I was building on a Morph.

As an aside, there are now several ways to get new Morphs:

* newStandAlone (from browser menus)
* new (from code)
* from the Objects tool (which calls a registered method to make 
instances)
* from a Flap (which duplicates a prototype)

and if you have Connectors loaded:
* from a NCMakerButton (which duplicates a prototype and sends it a 
message)
