They aren't called unless the user calls them.


	void Bar<T>(T value) { }
	
	void Foo<T>()
		where T : new()   // generic constraint for default constructor
	{
		T uninitialized;
		T initialized = new T();
	
		Bar(initialized);  // error
		Bar(uninitialized);  // OK
	}
	
	void Test() { Foo<int>(); Foo<Object>(); }


D could take a similar approach.
