You can chain by calling the constructor again:
immutable MT10{R<:Real}
b::R
c::R
a::R
MT10(b,c,a) = (@assert a<b; new(b,c,a))
MT10(; b=77, c=7, a=5) = MT10{R}(b,c,a) # note the {R} !
end # line 244:
MT10{R}(b::R,c::R,a::R) = MT10{R}(b,c,a)
then
julia> MT10{Int}(a=1000)
ERROR: assertion failed: a < b
in MT10 at none:5
in #s120 at none:6
julia> MT10{Int}(a=10)
MT10{Int64}(77,7,10)
