Summary: allow recursive calls of new_anything()

Initial Comment:
currently there is a protection mechanism against recursively calling "new_anything()".

unfortunately this mechanism is the main obstacle that prevents abstractions to be loaded via a "loader" mechanism (and instead requires special case handling)

the attached patch will allow some recursive calling of  new_anything() (but still has a protection against stack overflow, at a depth of MAXOBJDEPTH=1000)
