The following example will not compile:

class Foo

class C : Foo
{
     this()
     {
         super!(int)(3);
     }
}

The error is on the line of the super call:

"Error: found `!` when expecting `;` following statement"

Is this intentional or just an limitation in the grammar?

I'll note that you can't even instantiate a Foo with an explicit 
constructor call.
