  def initialize(*args)
    @initialized = true
  end

  def initialized?
    @initialized || false
  end
end

klass.allocate.initialized? #=> false

VALUE
rb_obj_alloc(VALUE klass)
{
    VALUE obj;

    if (RCLASS_SUPER(klass) == 0 && klass != rb_cBasicObject) {
        rb_raise(rb_eTypeError, "can't instantiate uninitialized class");
    }
    if (FL_TEST(klass, FL_SINGLETON)) {
        rb_raise(rb_eTypeError, "can't create instance of singleton class");
    }
    obj = rb_funcall(klass, ID_ALLOCATOR, 0, 0);
    if (rb_obj_class(obj) != rb_class_real(klass)) {
        rb_raise(rb_eTypeError, "wrong instance allocation");
    }
    return obj;
