nope. 
new means new. 
you are confusing your user if you send a new message and you receive an 
already existing (aka not new) object. 
the literature existing always recommend to use an specific method (usually 
#instance or #uniqueInstance, in smalltalk.. who decided to use #uniqueInstance 
as a convention).
