If one day we introduce the so-called existential operator `foo?.bar`, it will
be quite confusing to already have `new?.constructor` for something else.
Hah, I should have read ahead. You're right we were considering foo?.bar

I wrote that and championed it. But I probably forgot about it ten
minutes ago when replying to Allen, because it seemed to fail for good
at past TC39 meetings:

(search for "non-starter").
Then you rallied in this thread:

but it still didn't end well.
