I don't think VC++ is wholly wrong to warn about this.  The object isn't 
completely constructed when the initializer list is processed, but 
'this' is assumed to point to a constructed object.

If all the parent ctor does with the value is hold it for use *after* 
all the ctors run, it's fine.

If the base ctor dereferences the pointer, though, it's a potential bug.
