Really? Sorry, seems I missed, I'll take a look (a direct link will be appreciated).
The answer is quite simple. Object initializer extensions are more than just constructor syntax. They allow you to create complex objects without all the hassle in (function(){}()). So the constructor syntax was made this way to be consistent with object initializer syntax.
There can be exception for at least class definition since `extends`, repeat, is/was already reserved and familiar to many programmers.
