# Creates an object (or multiple objects) and saves it to the database, if validations pass.
# The resulting object is returned whether the object was saved successfully to the database or not.
#
# The +attributes+ parameter can be either a Hash or an Array of Hashes. These Hashes describe the
# attributes on the objects that are to be created.
#
# +create+ respects mass-assignment security and accepts either +:as+ or +:without_protection+ options
# in the +options+ parameter.
#
# ==== Examples
# # Create a single new object
# User.create(:first_name => 'Jamie')
#
# # Create a single new object using the :admin mass-assignment security role
# User.create({ :first_name => 'Jamie', :is_admin => true }, :as => :admin)
#
# # Create a single new object bypassing mass-assignment security
# User.create({ :first_name => 'Jamie', :is_admin => true }, :without_protection => true)
#
# # Create an Array of new objects
# User.create([{ :first_name => 'Jamie' }, { :first_name => 'Jeremy' }])
#
# # Create a single object and pass it into a block to set other attributes.
# User.create(:first_name => 'Jamie') do |u|
# u.is_admin = false
# end
#
# # Creating an Array of new objects using a block, where the block is executed for each object:
# User.create([{ :first_name => 'Jamie' }, { :first_name => 'Jeremy' }]) do |u|
# u.is_admin = false
# end

# for the object doesn't exist in the data store yet; otherwise, returns false.
