=item new()

Creates a new agent object.  You must tell new() where to get
the agent by passing in I<one> of the following arguments (in a hash):

I<Stored>: The agent stored in a Tom object.

I<File>: An IO::Handle (or any subclass) file handle from which the
agent can be read.

I<Name>: The agent's name.  This prompts new to search @INC and './'
for the agent's '.pa' source file.

I<Code>: The agent's source code.

These are listed in order of precedence.  To handle security issues,
new() also groks this argument:

I<Compartment>: A Safe Compartment within which the agent will be
registered, and later executed.  See the C<Safe> pod for details.
