-----------------------------------------------Create Function Begins---------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--[[
A "Create" function for easy creation of Roblox instances. The function accepts a string which is the classname of
the object to be created. The function then returns another function which either accepts accepts no arguments, in 
which case it simply creates an object of the given type, or a table argument that may contain several types of data, 
in which case it mutates the object in varying ways depending on the nature of the aggregate data. These are the
type of data and what operation each will perform:
1) A string key mapping to some value:
      Key-Value pairs in this form will be treated as properties of the object, and will be assigned in NO PARTICULAR
      ORDER. If the order in which properties is assigned matter, then they must be assigned somewhere else than the
      |Create| call's body.

2) An integral key mapping to another Instance:
      Normal numeric keys mapping to Instances will be treated as children if the object being created, and will be
      parented to it. This allows nice recursive calls to Create to create a whole hierarchy of objects without a
      need for temporary variables to store references to those objects.

3) A key which is a value returned from Create.Event( eventname ), and a value which is a function function
      The Create.E( string ) function provides a limited way to connect to signals inside of a Create hierarchy 
      for those who really want such a functionality. The name of the event whose name is passed to 
      Create.E( string )

4) A key which is the Create function itself, and a value which is a function
      The function will be run with the argument of the object itself after all other initialization of the object is 
      done by create. This provides a way to do arbitrary things involving the object from withing the create 
      hierarchy. 
      Note: This function is called SYNCHRONOUSLY, that means that you should only so initialization in
      it, not stuff which requires waiting, as the Create call will block until it returns. While waiting in the 
      constructor callback function is possible, it is probably not a good design choice.
      Note: Since the constructor function is called after all other initialization, a Create block cannot have two 
      constructor functions, as it would not be possible to call both of them last, also, this would be unnecessary.


Some example usages:

A simple example which uses the Create function to create a model object and assign two of it's properties.
local model = Create'Model'{
    Name = 'A New model',
    Parent = game.Workspace,
}


An example where a larger hierarchy of object is made. After the call the hierarchy will look like this:
Model_Container
 |-ObjectValue
 |  |
 |  `-BoolValueChild
 `-IntValue

local model = Create'Model'{
    Name = 'Model_Container',
    Create'ObjectValue'{
        Create'BoolValue'{
            Name = 'BoolValueChild',

An example using the event syntax:

local part = Create'Part'{
    [Create.E'Touched'] = function(part)
        print("I was touched by "..part.Name)
    end,	
}


An example using the general constructor syntax:

local model = Create'Part'{
    [Create] = function(this)
        print("Constructor running!")
        this.Name = GetGlobalFoosAndBars(this)
    end,
}


Note: It is also perfectly legal to save a reference to the function returned by a call Create, this will not cause
      any unexpected behavior. EG:
      local partCreatingFunction = Create'Part'
      local part = partCreatingFunction()
