Stephan> The initializer must be called first (I think).
There's actually a special case for assignment to fields declared in
this class -- you can have those assignments before the super call.
This was introduced to let constructors set up `this0ドル' and friends so
that other methods called by the constructor wouldn't fail with a
cryptic NullPointerException.
