class Base
{
    abstract this();
}

void main()
{
    Base b=new Base;
}

This compiles, but thankfully fails to link, as it cannot find the
constructor function for Base.

The compiler should catch this, as it throws an error if you try to
instantiate a class with other undefined abstract methods.

Unless of course, there is something that prohibits this from happening, in
which case I'll eat my words ;)
