>Summary: Inheriting native constructor with type parameters

Initial Comment:
This crashes the compiler 0.9.9:

It worked until I added the "toString() call in the last line.

package dfdl;

class Env extends HashMap<String, String> {}

Env makeEnv(List<(String, String)> initList) {
  return new Env(initList.listToMap());
}

void _test_makeEnv() {
  var env = makeEnv([("foo", "bar"), ("quux", "bar")]);
  println(env);
  assert(equals(env.toString(), "{foo=bar, quux=bar}"));
}

OK, I understand what happens. The case where a parent
class, defined in Java, had a retyped constructor with type
parameters was not handled properly. I'm working on fixing
this...

So I thought. Now regardless of what I do with the toString it 
always crashes the compiler.

I'm pretty much blocked by this bug. I don't want to go 
replace Env in my source code with Map<String, String>, but 
that's the only workaround. 

So, in the scheme of priorities, this one is very important to 
me.

Thanks -mike beckerle
