The problem with this would be that you generally expect
Object.getPrototypeOf(new X) === X.prototype
and
new X instanceof X
I guess that might have been what you mean by looking a bit weird.

IMO there are no great answers to this conundrum. `Foo.create` or maybe even a new `Foo.createAsync` convention might be the best way to go.
