"Ayeh." It would be even more confusing, I think, if two
interfaces specified constructors with identical signatures but
different intent:
interface Flexible {
Flexible(double stiffness); // constructor spec.
... methods ...
}
interface Edible {
Edible(double caloriesPerGram); // constructor
... methods ...
}
class LicoriceStick implements Flexible, Edible {
// Constructor mandated by both interfaces:
LicoriceStick(double whatAttributeDoesThisGovern) {

That still doesn't mandate any particular form of constructor
for concrete subclasses. It does, however, require that each
subclass constructor have enough information available to use in
an invocation of one of the abstract class' constructors, so a
certain amount of influence is present.
