Hey, good idea! And the feature gets its way to C++0x, too, but not  
implicitly:
(example from wikipedia)

class BaseClass
{
public:
   BaseClass(int iValue);
};

class DerivedClass : public BaseClass
{
public:
   using default BaseClass;
// same as
//  DerivedClass(int iValue) : BaseClass(iValue) {}
};
