says

"A record declaration may contain declarations of constructors that are
not canonical constructors. The body of every non-canonical constructor
in a record declaration must *start with* an alternate constructor
invocation (§8.8.7.1), or a compile-time error occurs."

I assume the intent is to allow a non-canonical ctor in a record
declaration to *contain* an alternate ctor invocation, not just *start
with*? If so, please amend 8.10.4 in the draft.

Good catch - I agree that changing "start with" to "contain" is the right fix.

Gavin, will you update the spec draft please?
