Do we still need the prose mention here now that the grammar enforces it?

-The bare form, <code>[Constructor]</code>, has the same meaning as
-using an empty argument list, <code>[Constructor()]</code>.  For each
-[{{Constructor}}] extended attribute
-on the interface, there will be a way to construct an object that [=implements=]
-the interface by passing the specified arguments.
-
-The prose definition of a constructor must either initialize the value passed as <b>[=this=]</b>,
-or throw an exception.
-
-The [{{Constructor}}] and
-[{{NoInterfaceObject}}]
-extended attributes must not be specified on the same interface.
-
-The [{{Constructor}}] and [{{Global}}] [=extended attributes=] must not be specified on the same
-[=interface=].

This requirement has disappeared.  It should be reinstated.
