Sorry for my previous gut reaction.  This looks like a good proposal, but
it makes a break with the evolutionary design of ES classes.  I think
sticking to an evolutionary path with classes has played a big part in
their success and I think we should stick to that.

Furthermore, when we were hashing out classes, several people (including me
I think) tried to suggest ways to maintain the `C() <=> new C()`
equivalence established by the built-ins, and it never really took off.  I
think maybe the reason is that that equivalence isn't very useful.
