  It means you want to allocate a new object of type "node" and
give it an initial value of (x,l).
  From Cohen's "Ada as a second language":
    Integer_Pointer := new Integer;
leaves Integer_Pointer pointing to a dynamically allocated variable of
type Integer with unknown contents.  The assignment statement
    Integer_Pointer := new Integer'(0);
leaves Integer_Pointer pointing to a dynamically allocated variable of
type Integer containing the value zero.
