I was wondering whether it would make sense to allow constructors to
initializer the object itself first, before doing anything else. This
started with finding a solution for "nulling" an object. Instead of adding
in-class non-static data member initializers (leaking implementation
details possibly) or redundantly adding a member name to the
constructor-initialization-list (when it already appeared in the class
body), you could simply write

    class A {
    public:
      A():static A{} { }

    private:
      string s;
      int t;
      float u;
    };

(Thanks to Xeo for proposing "static" to abuse for this).

 Oops. Looks like I confused those nick names. FredOverflow proposed the
abuse: http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/10161711#10161711
