 Summary: In constructors in the Java programming language, allow
 statements to appear before an explicit constructor invocation, i.e.,
 super(..) or this(..). The statements cannot reference the instance
 under construction, but they can initialize its fields. Initializing
 fields before invoking another constructor makes a class more reliable
 when methods are overridden. This is a preview language feature.
