That's fair. Developers who need that can write a `static [Symbol.new]()` method, of course. I proposed what I did because I think it's more common to want to control the arguments passed to the base class constructor than to want to do other work before calling it, and it's very rare indeed to intentionally skip base class initialization. But all three are possible with this proposal. -j _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
