While it does offer some methods you might use, I highly recommend not
trying to solve the problem this way.  'super' is an expected part of
sub-classing, and there may be instances in which the sub-classer does
*not* want your initializer to run.  If this is something you need to
do, I might be inclined to solve it with the factory approach. So
instead those using your framework would do something like:
MyFactory.getInstance() do
# user defines their behavior here
end

which returns an already initialized object.
