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