RFR [lworld] 8239929: Object.newIdentity() replacement for new Object()

[Roger Riggs]

Hi John,

I agree shorter is better, but I hope no one gets attached to the name 
of the implementation class.
It should be forgettable, I even wondered if it should be a hidden class.

Also, Object$Identity is too strong a name for this purpose. (and Brian 
has another purpose for that name.)

How about either Object$Id or Object$Instance?

Roger
