I agree that `constructor(...args){ return super(...args); }` is better (i.e. 
less surprising) when the super-class's constructor returns an other object 
than `this`. However, under the current state of the specification, there is at 
least one exception: the `Object` constructor ignores its `this` value and 
creates a fresh object, which is unwanted in the theoretical case you define a 
class extending explicitly `Object`. I guess that this case could be normalised 
by using a similar mechanism as `Array` and its [[ArrayInitialisationState]] 
internal slot?

I thought Allen designed things so

  class C {}

differed from

  class C extends Object {}

so as in the first case to avoid (a) super calling Object and making a useless newborn; (b) C inheriting class-side properties from Object.
