i suggested adding user-feedback if the object couldn't be created
because of missing arguments.

the problem here is that the object only creates without arguments once
it has been created with arguments.

i think this is something different (and entirely confusing).
either an object should create with a given set of arguments or not.

somewhat related is the question of system exclusive ressources (e.g. a
port for [netreceive]).
i find it highly frustrating that all of the network server objects will
plainly refuse to instantiate if they cannot allocate the given port.
i would very much appreciate, if i could get feedback on the success and
retry another port.

just wanted to get rid of this.
