Subject: Re: Forcing superclass initialization

yes, those are good points. Ideal would be callbacks right after the 
object was created or right before. And then there's the issue of the 
order of initialization within the inheritance hierarchy. I was 
wondering if there was a primitive solution in implementing a callback 
for whenever a new instance of any object is created, checking to see 
its type, and performing initialization if it is one of those classes 
which has registered for mandatory initialization. But I do not know 
where in the Ruby APIsuch a callback exists.

is there some philosophical reason the Ruby community is against this?
