Yeah, I forgot that it is not as as trivial to forward ... as
in Lua.

Exactly. And box_error_construct() allocates a new object. You even said
that in the comment. So where am I wrong?

Btw, for initialization of an object in-place we use '_create'.
'_init' is used for initialization of a module. But '_construct' - never.
