The user code stays the same and does this:

RandomVariable x = UniformVariable ();

The UniformVariable class constructor calls RandomVariable (new
UniformVariableImpl ()) but this is done behind the scene on behalf of the
user.

What you suggest could be used to achieve the same syntax I think but I have
not tried to implement it. Do you see this as a more desirable solution and do
you want me to attempt to implement it ?
