Get a system-wide object (System class)

The GetObject shared method retrieves a copy of a specified "system-wide object".

[%number =] %(System):GetObject( string, object)

%number	The generation number associated with name. This is a positive integer (initially set to 1) that increases by one each time the name object is updated. %number is set to 0 if the method encounters a problem and cannot retrieve the object.
`%(System)`	The class name in parentheses denotes a shared method. `GetObject` can also be invoked via a `System` class object variable, which may be `Null`.
string	The string name by which the system-wide object is identified.
object	The object variable to which the system-wide object is assigned.
