TatClass.DefineNewMethod Method
Registers a new method in the class, always creating a new TatMethod regardless of whether one with the same name already exists.
Remarks
Unlike DefineMethod, DefineNewMethod always creates a new TatMethod object. If a method named AName already exists, two objects for the same method will coexist in the class. The scripter always uses the last one added, so behavior is correct. The advantage is that you can destroy your newly created object and the previous one is still in effect. The disadvantage is excess memory use if called many times with the same name.
See DefineMethod for more information.
