Bug
Description
in C#, this is legal:
int i = new int();
whereas in Boo,
i as int = int()
ERROR: The type 'System.Int32' does not have a visible constructor that matches the argument list '()'.
the blank constructor should create a new instance, even though it is impossible to define a blank constructor in a ValueType, it would be handy for instances like this:
Length(Feet: 5.0)
which would create a new Length, then assign Feet to 5.0, without having to go through an intermediary constructor.

That's because there is no constructor. Disassemble Int32 and look for yourself.
That's syntax sugar.
int i = new int(); is the same as int i = 0;
jsut do length.Feet = 5.0 directly.
