Constructors are for construction.

Anything that can logically be considered necessary for the object to 
be in a "constructed" state is fair game, but certain things (like I/O)
incur extra responsibility. So it's wise to design your types so that 
weird stuff is not needed to establish the "constructed" state.

Maybe trivial, but short, easy things are the best for starting good 
practices.
