No, a constuctor will not return Nil. If an exception is raised in a
constructor, the implicit finalisation code is called (which then calls the
Destructor), and the exception bubbles up to the next exception handler.

Which means any constructor could return NIL. Which you didn't make
clear in your explanation. I just wanted to clear that up for others
incase they weren't aware of this.
