Description

class A extends Closure {
  A(Object o) {
    super (o)
  }
}

In this case we create a selectAndtransform version for selecting the constructor call, even though it Closure has only one constructor taking one argument and this constructor takes Object, so is surely fitting for o, which is Object as well. Instead a direct constructor call should be done.

This will improve speed and decrease bytecode bloat.
