I'd rather add another 'new' wrapper, that calls new, calls initialze,
and yields. Maybe call it 'create' or 'construct' or something.

Object,construct(*args) {|obj| .... }

The args would be passed to initialize, the block to construct. Would
fail if the defauly initializer needed a block, but perhaps there's a
way around that.
