C++'s approach is better from the point of view of corretness.
However, it is slower because the object's vtbl pointer must
be stamped several times during construction. (I am not aware
of available compiler optimizations there.)
No dispatch needed if calls it's own functions, so no vtable
needed for the constructor. But neither approach is good for
correctness.

doubt Stroustrup wrote all that...)
we can always do a git blame :-D
