It would be nice to be able to do that... (so as not to have to 
duplicate the name, makes renaming classes or changing classes much 
easier...) but far from necccessary.  And it would probably only serve 
to complicate the compiler if it were done...

It would be even better if you could write short hand something like:

MyObj new obj2;

Hmm, I would suggest that this would be a bit more logical reading it:

	new MyObj obj2;

But, then, it might get confusing when compared to:

	new MyObj();

Although, that does beg the question of whether you want this...

	MyObj new obj2(2, 3), obj3(4, 5);

But, really, this is all laziness, because the following isn't all that 
hard to type:

	MyObj obj2 = new MyObj(2, 3), obj3 = new MyObj(4, 5);
