Autogenerating constructors which just initialize the fields to the passed params?

Hi stackoverflow, is there some way to autogenerate the obvious 2-param constructor for this class in visual studio? class Thing { public readonly string a; public readonly Object b; } I guess you're supposed to use the: new Thing { a = ..., b = ... } syntax in such cases, but that won't work with readonly fields as above.

Generating Scala code trees from a Scala compiler plugin

There are a few resources on the web that are instructive in writing Scala compiler plugins that pattern-match against the code, but these don't help in generating code (constructing symbol trees).
