Description

Consider the following:

@RecordType(defaults=false, namedVariant=false)
record Person(String name, Date dob) {
  //Person(String,Date)
  //Person(String)  no!
  //Person(Map)     no!
  //Person()        no!

  public Person { // implies @TupleConstructor(pre={...})
    assert name.length() > 1
  }

  Person(Person that) {
    this(that.name(), that.dob())
  }

  //getAt(int i)
  //toList()
  //toMap()
}

The goal is to disable all the extra constructors and @RecordType fails to do so. This is because there is an implicit @RecordType() annotation added by the parser that gets in the way of correct merged attributes.
