<p>Lifting uses a default constructor which takes exactly one argument of the type
of the declared base class (after <code>playedBy</code>).
By default the compiler generates such a constructor for each bound role.
On the other hand, default constructors that take no arguments
(as in <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/classes.doc.html#16823"
class="ext">JLS &sect;8.8.7</a>) are never generated for bound roles.
<br />
The super-constructor to be invoked by a default lifting constructor
depends on whether the role's super class is a bound role or not.
</p>
<ul>
<li>If the super-class is a bound role, the default lifting constructor will invoke the default lifting constructor of the super-class.</li>
<li>If the super-class is not a bound role, the default lifting constructor will invoke the normal argumentless default constructor
of the super-class.
</li>
</ul>
