Loosen Constructor super()/this() call restrictions

[Howard Lovatt]

Hi,

I am not understanding your example, what is Bar if its not B - where
is its definition.

Also my suggestion isn't saying that the super constructor can't
access the super class fields or that after calling super you can't
access super fields, just that before calling super you can't access
super fields (only this.field_name). Also note that you can't call an
instance method, at all, before super, not even this.method_name( ...
).

Howard.
