This causes a confusion because the error message `cant.ref.before.ctor.called` can appear in such constructors without explicit constructor invocations.

This is future-proof, and is more consistent with the related `call.must.only.appear.in.ctor` message, which is "explicit constructor invocation may only appear within a constructor body".
