Description
@marjakh brought this up: "String constructor" linking just the word "constructor" to the definition of what a constructor is isn't useful. Presumably, most of the time the reader would want to be able to click through to see what the String constructor does.

Research direction
Start by locating the autolinking logic that handles “Foo constructor” and links the term “constructor” to its definition. Check how a constructor’s Foo-specific definition can be selected, then verify that the phrase links to the Foo constructor rather than only to the generic constructor definition.
