Cpp constructor initialization suggestion

[shemeshg]

MyClass: type = {
	private a: const int;
	operator=: (
        out this,
        a_in: int
		) == {
			a = a_in;
		}
}

I can see cppfront is claver and knows to a{ a_in }{... at the cpp file. I've been wondering maybe at the cpp2 we can shorten that for constructors only to

MyClass: type = {
	private a: const int;
	operator=: (
			out this,
			a{a_in: int}
		) == {
		}
}

or

MyClass: type = {
	private a: const int;
	operator=: (
			out this,
			a{int}
		) == {
		}
}

or

MyClass: type = {
	private a: const int;
	operator=: (
			out this,
			a
		) == {
		}
}

Thanks!

shorten that for constructors only

Cpp2 intentionally unifies construction and assignment under operator=, and intentionally removes special-purpose constructor grammar and semantics (like the mem-init-list). I think it's a feature that all parameters and all functions have the same grammar, so I don't want to create a special grammar for constructors only.

Thanks for understanding. If I misunderstood the suggestion, feel free to reopen!
