It seems to me like you're both in violent agreement here, except for
the nomenclature of what is "in a constructor".

Is that what is lexically in the respective c'tor's body, or does it also
include other c'tors called via this(...)?  Would it then also include
private, final or static methods called from some c'tor?

Obviously, stuff shouldn't be exactly duplicated in multiple c'tor
bodies, and doesn't need to, either, for reasons stated.
