I realise that this then allows

public class Example { 
   private int fourtyTwo = 42;
   public #int() fourtyTwo = #int() {return fourtyTwo;}

   public void run() {
      System.out.println(fourtyTwo());
   }
}

I think I would accept that as the price for the more convenient 
invocation syntax.
