The make-instance arguments get concatenated to create the Obj-C init  
message name

	(make-instance 'foo :string "") becomes initString:

while

	(make-instance 'foo :with-string "") becomes initWithString:

The latter looks like how most init messages are named. So you  
probably just need to chang :string to :with-string, and the behavior  
shouldn't have anything to do with Snow Leopard.
