A Type may have an Function Constructor associated with it. If a Constructor
is found with this Type, it is used to return an instance.If a Constructor can't be found on this Type, then the Super Types
are inspected and the first Constructor found is used instead.
This provides an elegant 'dynamic typing' mechanism whereby a
Constructor is not needed for every single Type.If the Type is a concrete
Simple
orSingleton
, then theDEFAULT
property on the constructor is returned.Throws:
-
if an instance of the Type can't be created
(e.g. if the Type is an interface, is abstract, or if no
constructor can be found). - Type
