In working over the material of the previous posting, removing any
references to overloaded functions, I discovered that I couldn't find
a syntax that cfront would accept for taking the address of a
constructor.  I want to do this because I am in a situation where I
have allocated memory by another means that I want to initialize as an
instance of a class, so I want to pass it to the constructor as
``this''.  The reason why is complicated; suffice it to say that I am
dealing with a situation where I can't rewrite the constructor and
have to use a memory allocator other than the standard _new operator.
