Ok, then here is some more background:

I have an abstract class FunctionalUnit which implements dataflow 
processing units. This abstract class creates handshaking signals (ack, 
strobe) common to all functional units which are used to control the 
flow of data.
The method ImplementControl is overloaded by derived classes to 
implement the actual handshaking logic, and returns instances. Now, when 
some functional units need to drive handshaking signals constants, and 
if it is not possible to build "constant drivers" instances, it becomes 
messy.
