The following program fails to compile.  The compiler wants a second argument
for the the declaration "x z;".  It works fine with only one argument in the
constructor, or if the words "const" are deleted.

# include <stream.h>

class x
	{ char	*save;
public:
	  x(const char *a = 0, const int b = 0)	{ cout << "Initialize\n"; }
	  ~x()	{ cout << "Clean up\n"; }
	};

x z;

main ()
{
	cout << "Hello, world\n";
}
