Perhaps you already figured this out but template mixins can

Damn! Yup, first sentence of the documentation. Wishful
reading.
Thanks.

You can of course mixin a function (either nested inside the
constructor or as a member or even a free funtion) containing
whatever you want and then call that.
That won't help you with calling super() though, you can only
call super from another constructor. You'd have to use a string
mixin as that truly can inject arbitrary code.
This opens a question:
Should functions nested in constructors be given all the same
powers that a constructor has (calling super, initializing
const/immutable data etc)?
