Notes on implementing concise calls to constructors with type parameters

[Neal Gafter]

This cannot be an error unless the Java Language Specification requires it
to be an error.  The language specification does not currently require it to
be an error.  I have no idea what change you are proposing to the
specification that would result in it being an error.  Without knowing that,
I cannot evaluate your proposal.
