[Mono-dev] Re: Constructor implementation obligation via interface?

[Kamil Skalski]

Of course strictly speaking you cannot create class WITHOUT ANY
constructor. If you don't specify any, the default empty ctor is
generated by compiler.
You can create a class without an empty ctor though, by defining the
one with some parameters.

I guess the only way to statically enforce having the empty ctor in a
class is by hack provided by Jb.
