Hi there,
might it be possible for Groovy to get rid of this stupid Java abomination,
especially to allow code like
class Foo {
Foo(someargs) {
sanitize-args
super(sanitized-args)
}
}
instead of the currently enforced ugly work-arounds (like e.g., using a
sanitize static method for each arg or so)?
(The very remote danger of calling a method of an un-initialised object in the
code above super-constructor is definitely not an excuse of such a crippling
limitation. If the programmer is not a complete nincompoop, he wouldn't; and if
he is, he'd shoot his own leg in a plethora of other ways anyway.)
Thanks,
OC
