My OO worldview goes back to Smalltalk, where constructors are 
"just" methods and thus you can reason about them as you would 
any other inherited method.  I see the point of nudging explicit 
treatment of superclass constructors.  Is it nannying?  A bit.  
Nothing that would make me walk away from D.  And I appreciate 
this extra insight into how D looks at constructors.

Thank you--both of you!
