Details

The arguments in CreateTypeInstance[type,arg₁,arg₂,…] can vary from type to type and are often documented with the type itself.
For many types, CreateTypeInstance[type,arg] creates a copy of arg if arg is an instance of type.
Some types that can be instantiated with CreateTypeInstance are not automatically memory managed and must be manually freed with DeleteObject.
