Declare Object

Pop the name of a method (can be the empty string), pop an object1 (created with the Declare Object,) pop the number of arguments, pop each argument, create a new object, then call the specified method (function s1 if defined, otherwise function s2) as the constructor function of the object, push the returned value on the stack. This allows for overloaded constructors as in C++.
