I'm not sure I follow your example relative to the arguments to new  
and CreateChannel, but:

If you define a class ChannelFactory and then define ChannelFactory#[]
to return a class, then you can have constructs like:

	Flickr = ChannelFactory["http://www.flickr.com/services/soap"]

	channel = Flickr.new(arg1, arg2, arg3)

or something like that.  The main idea is to have a class that generates
classes and use #[] to help with the syntax.
