I do not like the way constructors are handled at the moment.  Presently, they
must be declared in the public part of a class, but they cannot be invoked
explicitly by the user:

class x
{	int y;
	x ()	{ y = 0; }
public:
	//...
};

x z;	// ILLEGAL:  x::x() is private 

class a
{	int b;
public:
	a ()	{ b = 0; }
};

a c;

main ()
{	c.a();	//ILLEGAL:  a is undefined
}

I think that a constructor should be allowed either in the public or private
part of a class definition and, if in the public part, the program may
explicitly call it.
