Currently we generate invalid IL when one calls an instance method on the object being constructed before a explicit self()/super() call :

class Test:
	def constructor():
		pass

	def constructor(x as int):
		CallBeforeSelfOrSuper() #invalid IL "uninitialized `this`" 
		self()

	def CallBeforeSelfOrSuper():
		print "before"

ECMA-335 partition III section 1.8.1.4 states :
No operations can be performed on an uninitialized this except for storing into and loading from the object's fields.

I'm not sure how we could make this work other than emitting an error when there is such a call ?
