Do we require that all entities inside the constructor have the same 
dynamic 
type? If we do, then I buy the above statement. If it isn't, then 
obviously 
it won't work.

My impression was that no one ever thought about polymorphic entities 
appearing in a constructor and the easiest (not the same as best) choice 
was 
to use the declared type and not worry about matching of dynamic types?

Best,
Aleks

Yes, in my view ALL entities in an array constructor are required to be of 
the same dynamic type.  Since the example given in the interp does not 
have this problem I didn't add it as a condition.  Also I did not suggest 
an edit, I think J3 committee should reconsider this issue before rushing 
to the proposed edit.

Thanks,

Jim Xia
