I think partial overloading can be done by defining the `initialize` private method.

Bug #8091: Class.new is not called when class is created using class keyword

=begin
When a class is created using ((|class|)) keyword, Class.new is not called but if class is created using ((|Class.new|)) it is obviously called, there seems to be a dyssymmetry between ((|class X|)) and ((|Class.new|)) e.g.

    class Class
      class << self
      alias new_orig new
      def new(*args)
        obj = new_orig *args
        print "created",obj,"\n"
        obj
      end
      end
    end

    class X
    end

It doesn't print anything, but Class.new does

=end
