# Constructors are defined with a function name of this and having no return 
value

However the compiler implements class constructors as returning the this
pointer
#
# module wood;
# class Tree{
#    this(){
#    }
# }
#

dmd -c wood.d && nm wood.o | grep _ctor | sed "s:.* ::"
_D4wood4Tree5_ctorMFZC4wood4Tree 

demangled: wood.Tree wood.Tree.this(this)
