+Summary: [PATCH] avoid callvirt with ctors
+
+We call constructors with the callvirt convention. So, a ctor becomes
+
+<allocate>
+<push args>
+callvirt .ctor
+
+By using `call' we avoid the nullcheck which reduces code size.
+
+what is returned from the allocator will never be null -- if we are out of
+memory we throw an exception.
