This would be better, although even Crypto.new "Blowfish" would be good, 
too.  As I've mentioned elsewhere, what I *really* want is a way to return 
a subclass from a constructor.  Then a class could do some intelligent 
construction based on the argument type.  It wouldn't help in this case, I 
suppose, but it would help in the case of wrapper classes.
