Missing error when derived class does not call `super` in initializer

[Chriscbr]

I tried this:

class Foo {
  new(name: str) {}
}

class Bar extends Foo {
  new() {}
}

This happened:

It compiles

I expected this:

A type checking error, saying that Bar's initializer needs a super call since it is a derived class

Is there a workaround?

This now correctly yields the desired error message (Wing V0.74.30):

Failed to compile.
