Yes, now I understand.
I've extended set of "Valid" test cases and also added several "Invalid" test cases expecting to fail to compile.
During that work I found <self class>.super used in constructor arg is not failing compilation, so the Attr patch is also adjusted for that case.

However all the test cases here are still related to this and super in constructor args only, test matrix for other contexts should follow.
