<para>
A <sgmltag>ConstructorSynopsis</sgmltag> contains the syntax summary
of a constructor in an object-oriented programming language. Unlike a
<sgmltag>MethodSynopsis</sgmltag>, which it closely resembles, it may
not identify a return type and the <sgmltag>MethodName</sgmltag> is
optional (in some languages, constructor names can be generated
automatically).
</para>

<refsect2><title>Processing expectations</title>
<para>
For the most part, the processing application is expected to
generate all of the parenthesis, semicolons, commas,
and so on. required in the rendered synopsis.
