Sorry if this has already been suggested (I haven't been able to keep up
with this thread), but what about having a prototypical instance
associated with each class? New instance creation would happen by
cloning that prototypical instance (which would already have its
instance variables defaulted to whatever is required). Further
initialization that needs to happen on an instance by instance basis
could happen by overridding the #clone method (or some other clone-like
method used for instance creation). Of course, this wouldn't work for
variably sized object, but you could probably fake it in some way.
