So I assume you don't read "The C++ Programming Language" from Stroustrup?

Well, at least you will have to stop reading it now that I direct your
attention to p. 424  (in the 3rd edition paperback of the book) aka section
15.6.2 "Virtual Constructors".  After all, you should really not hurt your
eyes intentionally! ;-)
