Initial Comment:
C:\src\nice>nicec --version

import java.awt.*;

class Square extends Polygon {
  int x() = this.getBounds().x;
  int y() = this.getBounds().y;
}

<T,U> T fst((T,U) tup) {
  (T t,U u) = tup;
  return t;
}

<T,U> U snd((T,U) tup) {
  (T t, U u) = tup;
  return u;
}

new Square(int x, int y, int width) {
  let points = [(0,0), (0,1), (1,1), (1,0)];
  this(points.map(fst), points.map(snd), points.length);
}

void main(String[] args) {
}


Compiles, but fails at runtime:

C:\src\nice>java -jar test.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError:
(class: test/fun, method: x signature:
(Ltest/Square;)I) Incompatible object argument for
function call
        at test.dispatch.main(dispatch.nice)

This error arises when creating a closure inside a custom
constructor (or an instance initializer). I'll fix it.
If you need a workaround in the mean time, call a regular
method from the custom constructor to do the job.
