I use anonymous classes very frequently in Java and in C#, and I would say
that they are quite useful. However the examples given in the RFC are
really bad ones. Why on earth would you need a constructor for an anonymous
class? Anonymous classes are used to implement quickly some interface.
Frankly, constructors are not part of any interface. Besides a constructor
is totally useless in an anonymous class as it will never be called after
the object is created.
Let's not rule out this feature yet. It's just a weak RFC, so let's wait
for better approaches.
