Get a subsystem object (Subsystem class)

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

[%number =] %(Subsystem):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. gen is set to 0 if the method encounters a problem and cannot retrieve the object.
%(Subsystem)	The class name in parentheses denotes a shared method. `GetObject` can also be invoked via a `Subsystem` object variable, which may be `Null`.
string	The string name by which the subsystem-wide object is identified.
object	The object variable to which the subsystem-wide object is assigned.
