You can't, unless you were to make a third member function which did the
(int, int) initialization and have each constructor call that.

In fact, even the syntax for calling a constructor won't do what you
think:

    Class(2, 3);

presuming there is a Class::Class(int, int) constructor will not call the
constructor, it will create a temporary object and do nothing with it.
