Loosening requirements for super() invocation

[Archie Cobbs]

I'm curious what are people's current thoughts on loosening the
requirements for super() invocation in the context of Amber, e.g.:

    public class MyInputStream extends FilterInputStream {
        public MyInputStream(InputStream in) {
            if (in == null)
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("null input");
            super(in);      // look ma!
        }
    }

For a brief summary of the history see the "DIGRESSION" in this post from
last year:

This is an old "TODO" item that was never addressed due to cost/benefit
concerns.

Is it time to revisit?
