IMHO the default-constractibility requirement is unfortunate and in my 
particular case is not achievable. Understandably a library can only create 
an object it knows nothing about by imposing certain conditions (like 
demanding a certain constructor). Therefore, I'd consider any attempt to 
avoid that "delicate" situation to be a good design philosophy as it extends 
the applicability scope.
