it can be done (call macro expands into a make-instance form). however
the call-component method does some neccassary bookkeeping work (like
setting up the continuation, the place, the parent, etc.) which you'll
need to repeat if you just use make-instance. of course, this
bookkeeping stuff requires that there be a valid *context* object in
the dynamic environment.

basically it can be done, but it's a goodly amoun of work. why are you
trying to do it?
