Section 11.14

LRM-250

Changes (changes in red and blue):

Note: When using the super within new, super.new must shall be the first executable statement executed in the constructor. This is because the superclass must be initialized before the current class and if the user code doesn’t provide an initialization, the compiler shall insert a call to super.new automatically.
