Subject: creating an object of a specific type

Hello!

Consider I have:

static VALUE foo_init (self)
{
    return self;
}

cFoo = rb_define_class ("Foo", cFoo);
rb_define_method (cFoo, "initialize", foo_init, 0);

Now I want, from a method of another class, to create a new Foo
object, which contains nothing.

I don't want to use Data_Make_Struct() since the object is
not connected with a C structure.

How can I do this simple thing? Perhaps using the NEWOBJ()
macro? But, again how can a specify that the new object's type
is Foo?
