How does one set up a deferred constructor?  You can't do something like

	+new {
	    return [self subclassResponsibility:@selector(new)];
	}

because the subclass will do a

	self = [super new];

and trigger the subclassResponsibility message.  Is there a way for the
subclass to bypass deferred +new methods in its inheritance chain?
