That pretty much sounds like the problem, in a nutshell.

And shop-level is a pretty narrow point of view. What about something that I
d/l from the net, where the code is out of my control and unfamiliar? Why
can't I reuse code predictably w/o having to figure out how a particular
individual/organization allows it?

What's wrong with something simple, like saying all classes have an implicit
new() method that is overloadable? Is this really *that* complicated? Maybe
I'm not getting the Big Picture.
