If you don't have exceptions, you *need* two-phase construction.

Not using exceptions is very sensible if you:
- have a lot of non exception-safe code
or
- do not wish to write exception-safe code.
Google acknowledges that its developers aren't trained for this, and
since they've also got a lot of legacy code, they've got both reasons.
In any case, I prefer that kind of decision rather than using exceptions
without enforcing exception-safety, like most developers seem to do.
