Ok, weird hackenstein way to reduce the cost to deploy a new smart contract:

Use EIP-7702 AUTH instead of deploying a smart contract using Nick's Method. Nick's Method allows an AUTH from a key that doesn't exist. That means 7702 provides an EVM-layer proxy contract alternative at around 1/10th the cost.

My current solution requires a commit-reveal scheme (two transactions). I'm not sure it's possible to achieve this in a single transaction.

Astute readers will notice the AUTH will need to be to an account that respsects an arbitrary `owner` but without a constructor. I've come up with at least one way of solving this, still keeping gas cheaper than a proxy, I bet there are others.
