Hello,

I have a bit of experience in Smalltalk and Objective-C but someone told me
something I do not understand :

Why cannot you overload the -new method for construction ? It does not 
operate on classes but on instances AFAIK so I can retain data in it but 
apparently no one wants to have a clean interfaced -new overloaded method ?

I do not use +new as a class method, I want to use -new.

Best Reagrds,
Automn
