Description Stephan Herrmann CLA 2010-08-27 14:47:46 EDT 
According ot OTJLD 2.4.2(c) a base constructor call can be used as
an expression (argument to another constructor invocation):
   super(base(args));
However, currently the compiler reports a syntax error on token "base".

Witness is test236_constructorWithBasecall5.

fix

This patch updates the grammar to support base constructor calls
as expressions. Additional checks are performed to detect illegal
use of a base constructor expression outside the explicit super
or this call.
