I don't think so as the fix should make Gambas confirm the
documentation :)

Modules normally don't have the _new public method. As a matter of fact
modules are static classes.

When creating a static class yourself (so not using a module, but a
class with create static, as in my case), you normally don't implement a
_new public method either.

The goal of a static class is to provide properties, functions and
methods that can't be instantiated (including the class itself, as that
is of very little practical use).

If you want a class that can be instantiated you normally use a
non-static class. At least to my understanding of the matter.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
