If there's really no good default value to signal not passed, you may have
to just have these two. A couple of mitigations -
If you're going to do member initialization via assignment anyway, you
could create an `init` method that is called from the constructors to do that
thereby not duplicating the code.
More obscurely I have created a super class with the common constructed
members and used private or protected inheritance because no client cares about
that, but you can then unify the common member initialization there. Some
people frown on that, though, because it splits the member declarations from
the "real" class. Note that you don't need to qualify any of the member names
when used later.
