 In the above example, the low-level function `call` is used to invoke another

+How do I initialize a contract with only a specific amount of wei?
+==================================================================

+Currently the approach is a little ugly, but there is little that can be done to improve it.
+In the case of a `contract A` calling a new instance of `contract B`, parentheses have to be used around
+`new B` because `B.value` would refer to a member of `B` called `value`.
+You will need to make sure that you have both contracts aware of each other's presence.
