That documentation is outdated. That's how it used to work. Slava
should fix that. (Slava, I can't really update the repos myself now,
as I don't have a git server. I'll try to get one soon.)

Now, if you do something like TUPLE: foo bar baz ; to create a
constructor <foo>, you have to enter the line C: <foo> foo . This is
the most common case, so it used to be automatic, but it causes
several subtle problems. Now, a new flexible approach is used, which
Slava described in his blog here:
http://factor-language.blogspot.com/2007/08/re-definitions-tuples-and-constructors.html
