constructor
A person who, or thing that, constructs.
Seen in the wild
(maybe i'll think of some syntax so you don't need to repeat the constructor name though. something like `data Blah = { x : Int }` in polaris)
insane that there's still not a simple syntax disambiguator that works for all vexing parses. like for gods sake let casting an argument to auto disambiguate it as a constructor call or something
What do a work-from-home abyss, a starry-eyed puzzler, and a cloudy constructor all have in common? They should all be on your radar.

Comments
(automotive) A company which, or individual who, builds racing vehicles. In Formula One, constructor status is strictly defined by the rules, but in other motorsports the term is merely a descriptor. Depending on the racing rules, some constructors (e.g. Cosworth) may provide vehicles to racing teams who are not themselves constructors, while others are both teams and constructors (Ducati Corse, Scuderia Ferrari).
