Declaring variables on the stack is not very user friendly

Usability improvements

• Scope is not checked. It is possible to call constructors from unrelated classes.
• Changing the constructor can be done when selecting parantheses, but this is not very intuitive.
• Constructor arguments are specified from right to left.
• Comma cannot be used to add items as constructor arguments (only enter)
• A transform from a local variable declaration would enable more natural typing
• Currently need to specify the type as well as the specific constructor. It would be more natural to automatically re-bind to a matching constructor instead of manually specifying which constructor to use.

An idea to solve some of these issues is: Since we know the type (the LHS) we may be able to match against the signatures of all constructors within that class. The list of arguments can be simply a list of expressions. One issue with this solution however is that we also need to have proper references. (ctrl+click on the declaration should still bring us to a matching constructor)

This has been discussed and we can

• First create a c++= local variable declaration which can be either a base type with initialization expression, or a class initialization on the stack (copy/pasted from mbeddr localvariabledeclaration)
• Forbid C-type local variable declarations in C++
• Check if the local variable declaration can be modularized in mbeddr so this workaround is not needed (check with mbeddr team)
