Sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't expect that to work, I was just 
trying to see if that's what you wanted the compiler to do.

Anyway, I like Sean Kelly's proposal. But, if you have 15 constructors, 
the problem may not be the language but a design flaw. Could you show in 
which particular case you need to inherit constructors?
