Re: [Soaplite-devel] SOAP::Client

Martin/Rob,

As far as I remember, this was to allow someone to create objects
with:

CLASS->endpoint(...)

rather than

CLASS->new->endpoint(...)

with both $obj->endpoint(...) and $obj->new->endpoint(...) still
working as expected.

We should probably have something in the tests to cover this. I
remember this technique being used in examples. Probably went too far
in my quest for simplification.

As Rob mentioned, this should still work as a new object is only
created for a CLASS call.
