Subject: [ruby-talk:16377] other ways to create class instance?

Hi,

I was fooling around with object persistence ideas in Ruby and
came to a question I haven't found an answer to yet.  How can I
create an instance of a class X without invoking X.new(...)? 
What I need is to be able to create an instance with the right
plumbing set up and hand set instance variables from data
retrieved for the persistent form of the object.  So how would
you do that?
