Why do we disallow static fields named "constructor"? #35

Closed zenparsing closed 6 years ago

zenparsing commented 6 years ago

There is an early error for the following case:

class C {
  static constructor;
}

But there is no existing early error for this:

class C {
  static constructor() {}
}

Why is the first an early error?

My question is more, why is the second not an early error :-/

This is to leave room for a proposal from @erights, see https://github.com/erights/Orthogonal-Classes/commit/93bd1c4a19acd3155b62b6f27e94f9ef98a13a11
