     Okay.  I'll call it "Haddocks' Eyes."

     The operations you describe do not "reinstantiate" anything unless
we choose to adopt the White Knight's verbiage.  Rather, they create
one object instance and later create another.  You will find that the
two instances have nothing in common beyond belonging to the same class.
I am an instance of homo sapiens, you (I suppose) are another; are you
my reinstantiation or am I yours?
