If a class only defines a constructor with one or more parameters and no default constructor, clear() does not call any constructor of the base classes nor does it throw an exception.

class A
{
    int n = -1;
    this() {
        n = 0;
    }
}

class B : A
{
    // uncomment the following line and the unittest will pass
    // this(){}

    this(int b) {
        n = b;
    }
}

unittest
{
    auto foo = new B(42);
    assert( foo.n == 42 );
    clear(foo);
    assert( foo.n == 0 ); //fails
}

`destroy` (new name of `clear`) shouldn't call constructors at all. It just
destroys current object without creatuing a new valid one. Uncommenting
constructor in derived class doesn't (and shouldn't) change anything. If it
was, that was a bug (disappeared now) in `clear`.
