Hi there, 

Classes mixing in the Singleton module currently aren't allowed to have parameters for their initialize method. This should be changed, because sometimes it's necessary to give some initial state information to the single(ton) instance.

Example code (no way to create the instance):
================================================
require "singleton"

class Foo
  include Singleton
  
  def initialize(arg)
    puts "arg is: #{arg}"
  end
  
end

f = Foo.instance(1) #=> ArgumentError 1 for 0
f = Foo.instance    #=> ArgumentError 0 for 1
================================================

The arguments given to the ::instance method should be forwarded to #initialize, which in turn may raise the appropriate ArgumentError if necessary.
