Research direction

Start by reproducing the example through the new entry point with transcrypt test.py --nomin, and inspect the generated JavaScript for how constructor arguments are handled. Done means the arguments in __new__(Date, (2024, 8, 25)) are passed on to the JavaScript Date construction.

Description

IS: bug?

When constructing JavaScript objects using __new__ the arguments aren't passed on to JS. For example,

compiles to

// [boilerplate]
export var new_date = new Date;

Used command: transcrypt test.py --nomin
