What information is missing?

Constructor tear-offs are a new feature in 2.15:

How would you like us to fix this problem?

We should probably update the language tour, and also Effective Dart (#3560).

@kwalrath - can you add this to https://github.com/orgs/dart-lang/projects/27? Thanks!

Hmm, I think this and dart-lang/sdk#46243 are dups of each other.

I think that's OK. This is the place where I'll see it, and that's the place where SDK engineers will see it.

We're mostly tracking this work in a github project - one that sits at the org level. So it can include items from both dart-lang/sdk as well as dart-lang/site-www.

It seems progress has been made towards this with the Effective Dart work in #3649

As for the language tour, I'm not sure we ever explicitly refer to tear-offs, but do have this related Functions as first-class objects section where we could expand on the idea and add a new example.

The language tour doesn't currently use the word tear-off. I want to update it to use it, and to at least mention the ClassName.new form of constructor tear-off.
