My advice is not to use `newObject', but to use a method,
-ensureTarget, that returns the object to be used in the future.
Putting this information in a method should help clarify to the reader
that the future target object is not something predetermined in your system,
and it will help focus your mind on describing to yourself (or to us)
how and why you come to want `newObject'.
