Instead of having a special keyword like we have now. We could have, as 
has been suggested before, a regular function or method.

With a class, there's also the possibility to return a different type or 
a singleton:

class Foo
{
    Foo new ()
    {
        return Bar.new();
    }
}

class Bar : Foo {}
