Why is this so complicated with all redirection and the named argument and the
blah and everything? Is it a regression test for a specific issue? Could it be
simplified? If not, maybe adding a comment that explains why it needs to written
this way would be useful.

This tests a specific issue in the VM. I have added some comments, and renamed
some variables, but the complexity is the same. I don't know why this bug is
triggered.

+  var fisk;
+
+  Super() : this.named('');
+
+  Super.named(this.argument) {
+    fisk = 'fisk';
+  }
+}
+
+class Sub extends Super {
+  var blah;
+
+  Sub([otherArg = 'otherArg']) : super(), blah = [] {
+    print(otherArg);
+  }
+}
+
+main() {
+  Expect.equals('fisk', new Sub().fisk);
+}
