I fail to see how the multi-part C++ object initialization is any 
better than the one of D.
It just is very simple in D: first assign .init, then call the 
destructor, virtual calls allowed (of course!).

The weird rules of virtual functions in ctor/dtor in C++ just 
feel like one more special case. It doesn't even seem more 
efficient, quite the contrary. But it makes good interview 
questions I guess.
