Bye,

I think it means they are not decided whether it should inherit
constructors.
Back on topic, I do think inheriting constructors is a good idea, even
in presence of additional fields (why not?)
I also think constructor inheritance could be implemented without any
changes to the language the following way:
this(Args...)(Args args) if (__traits(compiles, super(args)))
{
super(args);
// initialize additional fields, if any present
// and/or do some post-construction logic
}
Why create new rules? :)
Alas, that doesn't work because of ref and out arguments. I actually
think it's a language bug that it's impossible to implement perfect
forwarding.
