What would you do if you had to do non-trivial (i.e. something that might
fail) initialization in constructor but you weren't allowed to throw an
exception? This rule is an obvious consequence of banning exceptions. And en
exception ban is a consequence of having hundreds of millions lines of
non-exception-safe code.
