Sam Harwell is already trying to untangle the problem with the
constructors for the CSharp3 target. Hopefully I can port back this to
CSharp2 without much difficulty, although it would be a good idea, if
all targets would support this. You can use preprocessor directives in
the meantime to ease the switch between debug and non-debug in the
meanwhile.
