Feature #4910: Classes as factories

I suggest to add these two to class Class:

class Class
  alias call new

  def to_proc(*args)
    lambda {|*a| new(*args)}
  end
end

Then we can use class instances where blocks are needed and can easily use them as factory instances using the general contract of #call (see example attached).
