FUNCTION
Allocates and initializes a localcontextitem structure with "datasize"
bytes of associated user data. This is the only supported way to
create such an item. The user data can be accessed with the
localitemdata() function. an item created with this function
automatically has its purge vectors set up correctly to dispose of
itself and its associated user data area. Any additional cleanup
should be done with a user-supplied purge vector.
INPUTS
type,id - additional longword identification values
ident - longword identifier for class of context item
dataSize - number of bytes of user data to allocate for this item
RESULT
item - pointer to initialized localcontextitem or null if the
allocation failed.
