&gt;with mojo, eval:
&gt;
&gt;;as $sys create([])
&gt;
&gt;a new, full-bastard object is created. It has no... anything, save its
object number.
&gt;This wouldn't be so bad, except that it seems impossible to operate on the
object; and actions taken toward the object seem to return
"#xxx.has_ancestor not found."
&gt;
&gt;Maybe create() should throw an error when passed an empty parent-list.


This is definitely a bug in create() and can be easily verified by looking
at src/ops/object.c

I'll leave it for Brandon or someone else to do the trivial patch to fix it.
I've done enough Genesis work for the month. :)
