yeah that should work now.

For classes constructors are special, whereas _ctor_type is just
an ordinary function -- it isn't actually a constructor.
That may change if we have 'views' or 'active patterns' etc
where you can match on the result of applying a function.
EG you may want
match z with | Polar (?r,?t) => ...
to work even if z is in cartesian form. That could be done now by
just
r,t = mod z, arg z
of course
