Creates an new object of type val. The parent argument is optional; If it
is supplied, the object will be parented to that object.

**Performance note:** When the `Class.Instance.Parent|Parent` of an object is
set, Luau listens to a variety of different property changes
for replication, rendering and physics. Therefore, it is recommended to
**set the Parent property last** when creating new objects. As such, you
should avoid using the second argument (`parent`) of this function. You
can read [this thread on the developer
forum](https://devforum.roblox.com/t/psa-dont-use-instance-new-with-parent-argument/30296)
for more information.
