I do think the error is back to front (or is that just me?)
"<file> line <line> argument(s) `()` do not match with any constructor:
options ... (AP p) ... " would seem more logical. in this case a warning
that it is an implicit super call may also aid the person makeing the
mistake. (took me a while to track this one A due to the missing line no and
B 'cos even when I worked out it was a super() and not super( x ) I forgot
that implicit super() had been added [not complaining about that I like that
behaviour] )
