The history here is interesting. An earlier unreleased version of the
Traceur compiler used "constructor". When we saw Allen's use of "new" in one
of the object-literal-based class proposals, it seemed like a good idea so
we switched to that. In light of Brendan's criticism, we realized we should
return to "constructor" -- it's an elegant pun.
