Ugh! Some Java/C++ idiom just reared its head in the back of my skull
when seeing this. Since MyClass is abstract, I would expect the call to
new to freak too. (Fail early) 

Which reminds me: Is there any way of seeing which methods have been
redefined between a super- and subclass?

SubClass.instance_methods - SuperClass.instance_methods return the new
methods, but how could I get a list of methods that SubClass has
redefined, if that is possible?
