No it's not undocumented... it just has piss poor documentation
apparently (for example, the CF5 documentation says "refer to the
following sections for more details about using createobject to create
COM, CORBA and Java objects", followed by 3 links labelled "COM",
"CORBA" and "CreateObject")... and in addition, much of the
documentation has apparently VANISHED since the transition from CF5 to
CF MX (when CreateObject suddenly became much more widely used of
course). But if you go back and you look at the documentation for CF5
in the livedocs, you'll find references to the additional arguments in
the documentation for using CreateObject with COM and CORBA (both of
which accept up to 4 arguments).

I had thought I'd written getObject() such that it would only use the
arguments passed to it, so I figured that would work, but... and I'm
not looking at the function currently (Mike and Judith were in from
out of town and we went to dinner with them and didn't get back until
late, so I'm not doing any real work tonight)... I guess if BD is
erroring on the creation of that function because there are too many
arguments passed to CreateObject(), then that function would likely
need to be created with an evaluate() (the cf_core/call function does
this) so that BD doesn't see the "problem" until the function
executes, at which point the argument list can be trimmed to 2.
