/*
 [create_object] creates a MATLAB proxy class object with a mexhandle
 in the self property. Matlab does not allow the creation of matlab
 objects from within mex files, hence we resort to an ugly trick: we
 invoke the proxy class constructor by calling MATLAB with a special
 uint64 value ptr_constructor_key and the pointer itself.  MATLAB
 allocates the object.  Then, the special constructor in our wrap code
 that is activated when the ptr_constructor_key is passed in passes
 the pointer back into a C++ function to add the pointer to its
 collector.  We go through this extra "C++ to MATLAB to C++ step" in
 order to be able to add to the collector could be in a different wrap
 module.
