A callable constructor model represents the model of a Ceylon class constructor that you can invoke and inspect

Callablity

As with Function you can also invoke a CallableConstructor, doing so instantiates an instance:

 shared class Foo {
     shared String name;
     shared new foo(String name) {
         this.name = name;
     }
 }

 void test() {
 Constructor<Foo,[String]> ctor = `Foo.foo`;
 // This will print: Stef
 print(ctor("Stef").name);

Genericity

This class inherits Generic but a constructor in Ceylon cannot have a type parameters. For symmetry with CallableConstructorDeclaration.apply() the Generic.typeArguments and Generic.typeArgumentList refer to the type arguments of the constructor's class.

no type hierarchy
