New issue 857 by imranoft...@gmail.com: Provision for Library constructor  
with Suite/Test details map as a parameter
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=857

We create an instance of the test library depending on the attribute

ROBOT_LIBRARY_SCOPE

Here we invoke the default constructor unless we pass in the parameters  
while loading it from the test case.

I want provision invoking another constructor with a map/hash containing  
the RF parameters if ROBOT_LIBRARY_SCOPE = "GLOBAL", RF parameters + suite  
details if the scope is "TEST SUITE" and RF parameters + suite + test  
details when the scope is "TEST CASE"

Something on the lines of

public TestLibrary() {
}

/**
* Invoke this if available
*/
public TestLibray(Map details) {
}

For libraries with need parameters we could have something on the lines of

public TestLibrary(String arg1, String arg2) {
}

/**
* Invoke this if available
*/
public TestLibray(Map details, String arg1, String arg2) {
}
