  None

(and thus resets all fields with initializers)

Following code :

class Test:
     _x = "pre"

     def constructor():
           print _x

     def constructor(x as string):
           _x = x
           self()

Test("post")

Shows "pre", whereas it should obviously show "post".

We should either :
1) disallow using self() at any other position than first in the block (as what C# does in practice).
2) add a $initialized$ boolean field so that $initializer$ is executed only once.

(2) sounds more boo-ish imho, we could add the field only when there is more than one constructor on the object.
