Reset class member variables

[mandel]

I agree, in many cases it is a design problem
to reset an Object because the problems
introduced by it often outweights the 
speed/memory overhead.

But it's nice when the initializing problem
can be done in a foolproof way.
It's nice not to have to sacrifice speed for reliability.
