Return a new object blessed into the SubClass, with the given
properties.  PROPERTIES may either be a list of key/value pairs, a
single hash containing key/value pairs, or an existing C<Data::Grove>
object.  If an existing C<Data::Grove> is passed to `C<new()>', a
shallow copy of that object will be returned.  A shallow copy means
that you are returned a new object, but all of the objects underneath
still refer to the original objects.
