Hmm. Sorry to be pedantic, but you've created @class functions, not
constructor functions. :)

EO constructors would instead be used as follows:
efl_add(EFL_NET_IP_ADDRESS_CLASS, NULL, efl_net_ip_address_set(1234,
"127.0.0.1"));
Not saying it looks any better, really. But that's what constructors are,
in EO.

A macro could be nice. We still need @class functions to work with other
classes than the one that declares the method. Each class can then have its
own implementation of the common @class function. Should all sub
implementations also provide a macro, then?
