Other stuff but no 'new'. A new() method in the preferred fashion would be good, no?

No, because:

  1. Not every module is a class.
  2. Some (most?) modules which are classes use a framework which provides a standard new() in the superclass.

If you only ever write OO modules and know that these will always have their own new() method then you can use one of the very many templating engines to write your own module creator to achieve this. I'm sure most of the existing new-project-creation tools have hooks for customisation too but I've never been bothered enough to go looking, TBH.
