OK here's the plan,

I want to use my constructor to construct a new Object if one does not
exist otherwise I want to return a reference to an Object that matches
the Objects criteria.

Can I do this in a constructor? If so how?

I tried to assign this to the object but my assignment is ignored
Extent t = this;
t = theObject;

however this <> theObject( )

I'm guessing I can't do this in a Constructor, but I'm hoping someone
can tell me otherwise.
