base class for all GO::Model objects
.SH "Constructors"

.SS "new"
.IX Subsection "new"
Constructor: Basically just calls _initialize().  Most subclasses
should not need to override new, but instead should override
_initialize().
.PP
If _initialize() fails , the procedure will die

Use an eval statement to catch such exceptions.
