E3004 error

Reserved member name

area: classes (x3xxx)
fails the build: yes

A class member uses a name the class runtime keeps for itself: new, __index, __newindex, __name, __super, __init, __ctor, __initFields, __class, __meta, __getters or __setters. Defining one would break construction or member lookup. Rename the member; to set up a new instance, write a constructor.

Example

class Item    function new()    endendprint(Item)

class Item    constructor()    endendprint(Item.new())

The compiler reports it like this:
