I agree you 'new' should match constructor, except Array. Array
constructor is broken (that's why we need Array.of/new/create
whatever) and NO ONE really use Array constructor at all (programmers

Too true.
Rick, it's important not to make a false idol out of precedent. When
people want an Array constructor, they don't think "especially one that
treats the case where it is called with a single argument of number type
as a request to make an array with that many holes"!
