| Anybody have a different opinion or a clever idea? Please speak up!

No clever idea's (I never had :-), but certainly an opinion! Looks
like option 2 is asking for trouble, so I recommend option 1). What is
the reason behind this change? Just to be able to call
class_name(arguments) and getting an instance, or are there other
reasons as well?

On another note: How are the __len__ and other special functoins
implemented? Is there considarable overhead for using these function
instead of the built-in ones, or should there be almost no difference?
Just curious...

Thanks,
