JEP proposed to target JDK 22: 447: Statements before super(...) (Preview)

[Mark Reinhold]

The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 22:

  447: Statements before super(...) (Preview)
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/447

  Summary: In constructors in the Java programming language, allow
  statements that do not reference the instance being created to appear
  before an explicit constructor invocation.  This is a preview language
  feature.

Feedback on this proposal from JDK Project Committers and Reviewers [1]
is more than welcome, as are reasoned objections.  If no such objections
are raised by 23:59 UTC on Wednesday, 22 November, or if they’re raised
and then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal
[2] I’ll target this JEP to JDK 22.
