I agree with Jonathan. `new immutable int(1)` is also necessary, otherwise we
cannot initialize heap-allocated value without type-system hacking (by using
cast). I think it is one of hole in current const type system.

Therefore, for all built-in types, both stack allocating syntax (T() and T(v))
and heap allocating syntax (new T() and new T(v)) should be supported. I
changed the summary. 

But, true uniform construction cannot be implemented currently, because array
construction has some special cases.
I've opened a new issue for uniform array construction.
