 * interceptor (allows only one unique instance for the intercepted
 * class):
 *
 * 
 * class DebuggingInterceptor implements ConstructorInterceptor {
 *   Object instance=null;
 *
 *   Object construct(ConstructorInvocation i) throws Throwable {
 *     if(instance==null) {
 *       return instance=i.proceed();
 *     } else {
