when referencing the constructor method from another method
(dare I ask why you would do such a thing?),
you must use e.g.@tie{}@samp{this.__construct};
using @samp{this.constructor} would not be very useful,
as this is always set (in JavaScript) to the function
that instantiated the object.}
This method name may also be used prior to ES6.
