Hello Scott,
I've always been a big fan of the "don't let users create objects they can't really use" philosophy.
I also prefer this style because it could be cumbersome to detect the source of exceptions thrown by half-initialized objects in complex applications. If half-initialized objects are allowed the library developer has to provide descriptive exceptions. with best regards, Oliver
