Quoting Frank Wienberg <fr...@jangaroo.net>:
If you are talking about the goog.base() inside the constructor body, it
always has to be there unless the class inherits from Object.
This is needed to simulate ActionScript semantics: if your constructor does
not contain a super(...) statement, an implicit one is added as the first
statement. If no constructor is specified at all, a no-arg constructor
simply calling super() is implicitly added (which leads to a compiler error
if the super class does not allow no args for the constructor).
Of course, all this implicit stuff is not automatically done by JavaScript
(as it is unaware of our class system), and so has to be added to generated
code explicitly. I guess when you are visiting ABC, not AST, the implicit
code is already present, in other words, you should never find a
constructor not doing a super() call in ABC. But mind that I know nothing
of ABC, so this is just a common sense guess.
I actually thought of this very point right after I asked the
question. The code should already be setup correct because the
compiler would have barfed and not created the SWF that holds the ABC.

On the second one, I would tentatively say "no, it doesn't have to be
there"... but a definitive answer might require some more research.
