=head1 NAME

new - shorted require Foo; Foo->new(...) to just one call

=head1 SYNOPSYS

    use new qw(My::Very::Long::Module x foo 42);

is an exact equivalent of

    our $x;
    BEGIN {
        require My::Very::Long::Module;
        $x = My::Very::Long::Module->new( foo => 42 );
    };

or a rough equivalent of

    use My::Very::Long::Module;
    our $x = My::Very::Long::Module->new( foo => 42 );

Not a big deal in a real program, but may save some typing in a
one-liner test script.

Works well under C<use strict;>.
