Need CustomConstructor attribute to reduce amount of copy/paste constructor code A bunch of idls (like Worker, WebKitPoint, WebKitMatrix, XHR, etc. don't use GenerateConstructor because they want to have their own custom constructor function (which takes arguments). Need to fix these to use less boilerplate code.

Turns out that we'd probably need: ConstructorNeedsGlobalObject as well, in order to replace a bunch of the existing custom constructors. The existing custom constructors would use: GenerateConstructor CanConstruct CustomConstructor ConstructorNeedsGlobalObject Perhaps there is a more succinct way to express all that. :)
