With a class expression and .{, you can also conceivably have constructor
properties:
var MyClass = class extends Foo { ... ) . { /* constructor properties go here
*/ }
I don’t use constructor properties often, so I think it’s OK not to have them
in MM classes (with the option of adding them e.g. in ES.next.next).
