This is also one of my bigger concerns.  I think the rewriting and 
reinterpretation of what the use wrote as a a constructor may be very 
problematic.   For example,how does this get translated:

class extends C {
  constructor() {
       super();
       super.foo();  //apply the inherited foo method to the new object  
  }
}

If we had a design that didn't require the rewriting of the user provided 
constructor I'd be much more comfortable.  Thinking...more latter...
