Thanks. The analogy to [[Get]] and [[Set]] helps a lot.
(Superficially, possible alternatives to `new^` could include
`class()` and `class this`.)
One more minor question. Suppose I mistakenly type:
class ColorPoint extends Point {
constructor(x, y, color) {
this = super(x, y); // oops: should be `new super(x, y)`
this.color = color;
}
}
Then `new ColorPoint(0, 0, "red")` throws a ReferenceError, because
`super(x, y)` implicitly uses `this`. Is that right? Asking just
because it seems like it'd be an easy mistake to make.
