External Function Calls
-----------------------
The expressions ``this.g(8);`` and ``c.g(2);`` (where ``c`` is a contract
instance) are also valid function calls, but this time, the function
will be called "externally", via a message call and not directly via jumps.
Functions can also be called using the ``this.g(8);`` and ``c.g(2);`` notation, where
``c`` is a contract instance and ``g`` is a function belonging to ``c``.
Calling the function ``g`` via either way results in it being called "externally", using a
message call and not directly via jumps.
Please note that function calls on ``this`` cannot be used in the constructor,
as the actual contract has not been created yet.
