+Calling overridable methods during construction poses a risk of invoking methods on an incompletely
+constructed object and can be difficult to debug.
+It may leave the sub-class unable to construct its superclass or forced to replicate the construction
+process completely within itself, losing the ability to call super().  If the default constructor
+contains a call to an overridable method, the subclass may be completely uninstantiable.   Note that
+this includes method calls throughout the control flow graph - i.e., if a constructor Foo() calls a
+private method bar() that calls a public method buz(), this denotes a problem.

+Instantiation by way of private constructors from outside of the constructor's class often causes the

+to invoke a new hidden package scope constructor that takes the interface as a supplementary parameter.
+This turns a private constructor effectively into one with package scope, and is challenging to discern.
