Coding Style - C++ constructor initialization list

[Boris Barbulovski]

or maybe like this:

*ClassName::ClassName()*
* : **x(1)*
* , **y(2)*
* , **z(3)*
*{*
*}*

Benefits:
* Members are aligned(easy to read)
* Eazyer for adding new members to the end of the list(no need to worry
about the comma to last entry)

br, Boris..
