Thank you for reviewing! :-)  My problem with directly providing
arguments to the _constructor_function (and consequently to the C++
constructor) was that it was hard to distinguish whether the code
constructing the instance needs to work on an acquired interface, or
not, so thought that if we 'force' every initialization to work on the
acquired one, it leads to least trouble.

But if this is not a problem, and the implementer should be aware & make
the right choice, I am most happy; actually the resulting constructors
look really beautiful from my POV:

Thanks so much for this suggestion - if you are happy with the patch,
I'd push it ASAP to unbreak the Windows build...

All the best,
Kendy
