Is that correct? S12 says...
All classes inherit a default new constructor from Object.
It expects all arguments to be named parameters initializing
attributes of the same name.
... which seems to contradict.
Apologies. I hadn't noticed that you were intending to call it with a
positional argument. In which case, yes, you would indeed require the separate
constructor definition.
