Thanks, Phil,

Good that you mention insert. What if I call insert on an element and also put
in a call to an entry method foo of the same element. Will the constructor be
still called before foo?

Yes, it will. Before the constructor runs, the element does not exist for the runtime system to deliver the message bearing the foo() entry method call. So, it just buffers it.
