Subject: Re: $cgi = CGI.new w/ mod_ruby dangerous or acceptable?

okay, i'm implementing singleton pattern for CGI. simple appraoch:

	require 'singleton'
	class CGI
		include Singleton
	end

now CGI.new dosen't work and one must use CGI.instance. but is there a way 
just to redefine #new to do the same thing rather than having a different 
method? i'd rather not have to go around changing #new to #instance? seems 
like i've delt with this before but i don't remember what i came up with.

also perhaps i should subclass CGI for this and create CGISingleton rather 
then directly altering CGI itself.

some thoughts on the best approach to take would be greatly welcome. thanks.
