Suggestion: Change precedence of 'new'

[Scott S. McCoy]

At the same time, the fact that parenthesis are optional is also quite
nice.

It allows accessing a member to magically become accessing an accessor,
and it eliminates unnecessary parenthesis on multiple statements which
makes trees nicer to access, consider DOM:

document.firstChild.firstChild.lastChild.parentNode;

This is a lot nicer than....

document.getFirstChild().getFirstChild().getLastChild().getParentNode();

To make the example less extreme, it's still nicer than:

document.firstChild().firstChild().lastChild().parentNode() and less
ugly.

But, it's not really a trade off that matters much in the long run.

Cheers,
